Leaving Coronado

Friday October 2, 2009

We didn't see all of Coronado, but it looked like no poor people lived there.

Now there was a flaw in my planning. I hadn't realized the trolley didn't stop at the ferry dock on its way back off the peninsula. Therefore we had to take a bus or catch a cab. True, we could have taken the trolley across the bridge, but we wanted to have the ferry experience. (Why? We live on an island and hate taking the ferry!) We would have caught one right away if the taxi driver had known where he was going. He let us off in the wrong place, so by the time we hiked over to the wharf, the ferry was just pulling away. We had a long wait in a not-too-exciting shopping area. Then it started to rain!

The ferry, when we finally got on it, stopped at the military base on its way back to downtown San Diego. If I remember correctly, we were warned against taking photos at the military base.
