Socked in (almost)

san_diego_airport_n_harbor_in_rain.jpg

Spending time in the desert, or a desert city, during a rainy spell (even if it lasts for your entire visit, pretty much) is special.

Here’s the view across San Diego‘s airport and bay, with Coronado in the background.

This is beyond the fabled marine layer, and truly socked in, unless socked in means the airport was closed. It wasn’t, and we left only a few minutes late.

Home, sweet home.

    Actually, I think it’s an ocean-going freighter and hulk all in one! (You can’t tell, but it was motoring to the left/east at a decent clip (perhaps not yet loaded?).
