What? No Shamu?

Although we spent the majority of our San Diego time in the gigantic conference center, we didn't take a single picture of it. This is probably because at that time we had one of those old nasty film-using camaras (primitive). We did, however, take a picture in front of the beautiful San Diego temple. Yeah, this is pretty much one of the prettiest temples ever. While Sara was in her convention I spent my time outside on the patio studying, and looking at the cool helicopters that flew by from the near-by naval base. We later participated in a way cool African themed party by the bay, which was a lot of fun and featured scary lookin' african idol guys on stilts scaring the living daylights out of passers by.

Lets see, we also went over this super long bridge out to Imperial Beach, which was pretty enough, but more noteworthy for being the land on which one of the most haunted buildings in the world stands. Or at least, we feel quite certain it was haunted, we were too scared to go close enough to investigate.

And how could I forget the hotel we stayed at, which was directly across the street from the Amtrak station. This led to many a curious conversations about where the outgoing train was going, especially at 3 in the morning. But of course, the best landmark next to our hotel was the final resting place of the USS Midway, which floats in the San Diego Bay and serves as the largest naval museum in the world, which you can tour for the low price of only nine gazillion dollars. Since we didn't have enough money to tour the museum and were unwilling to take out a loan, we were content to drive up close and gauk. Boy was it big. And she saw some action, too, namely the Vietnam War and Desert Storm. I must say it was cool to see a real aircraft carrier. Check out the picture of it against the San Diego skyline.
