Coronado Again

The Hotel del Coronado is a beautiful old hotel that has been an important historical feature in San Diego since before the Depression.  They had a couple of young men walking around with hawks on tall poles to scare away the pigeons and sea gulls that try to gather on the grounds or around the outdoor restaurant. I thought that was pretty ingenius!


We spent a few hours before the baseball game walking around Coronado's shops.  Everyone here has beach cruiser bikes.  They look like the bikes that we had when we were kids.  There are no gears like on a mountain bike, they don't need them since everything is flat.  We even saw some with sissy bars and handles like a chopper bike.  Pretty retro!
