San Diego (photos)

So, my favourite part of California, are the overpasses, the highways (semi-depicted in the third photo, obviously). Here is why I love the overpasses: the palm trees are super funny, and I don't really like palm trees to be honest but I love the ones with the beard-things hanging off. The ones with the beards often hang and then vines start to grow in their beards, and all of this becomes so excessive that they hunch over a bit and fall on the different highway ledges. This creates these, sort of-- stringy fingers that dangle from the overpasses, and then, with sunlight pouring through them (at around noon, because that's when the sun shines most) it's just so beautiful you question if you're eyes are lying or you've finally snapped into schizophrenia.

The second photo is a better view of hotel room we stayed at in San Diego. It was quite nice, I especially loved that house keeping left cigarette ash on the deck and the kids (the staff often brought their little kids, who would flail around the hallways spouting Spanish this way & that) would make paper airplanes-- planes that were just big enough for their hands so, that means: little, little, planes (I could put one in my fist and it would only bit slightly crumpled).

The first photo is just Ryan at Lego Land with Joan in the background (lawlz).
