On the trolley I won a wooden token for correctly answering the question the driver asked - what is the most popular fruit in America? This was as we drove by the fruit import facility we'd seen on the trolley tour before... so I knew the answer was bananas (even though technically they're not fruit).
We crossed the bridge and headed straight to the Hotel del Coronado.
I was quite excited to be at this place I'd seen so many years ago in postcards. 
DRAGON TREEA sign here reads: "Native to the Canary Islands, this unusual tree was planted at The Del prior to the turn of the century where it thrives in our temperate southern California coastal climate.
The Dragon Tree was used as a backdrop in the Marilyn Monroe movie Some Like It Hot, which was filmed at The Del in 1958."
