January 15th to January 23rd Sunday

We did more pool time; golfing and I had another golf lesson.  Weather has been wonderful. We enjoyed a live performance called “Laughing Bird” put on by a husband and wife team that sing, play several instruments and do their comedy routine.  Carol & Larry left on the 17th for Yuma; we’ll join them Feb. 1st.
Wednesday (Jan.19) we drove to San Diego arriving in just 60 degree weather and fog!  We toured Pacific Beach and Mission Beach; had lunch there before going to the La Pensione Hotel in Little Italy, then walked to the Horton Plaza. We did memory lane supper at Filippi’s Restaurant.  Thursday we had an excellent 6 hours at the San Diego Zoo and I think we saw it all.  I have 132 pictures!  The weather was great sun shine and high 70's.  Friday morning we drove over to Coronado Island, then south on Hwy 75 down to Imperial Beach and said farewell to the Pacific Ocean!  We cut across county to the
Otay Lake Road
over to Hwy 94 to Campo, joined up with 1-8 again.  Hwy 94 has one pile of Homeland Security people because it is so close to the Mexico border! Anyway, it was a good trip.
Saturday, we went to the Calexico flea market and got the fresh roasted peanuts, so we are stocked up for a good long time now! What a junky place that is, so bad I didn't even walk into any of the tents, just walked on by!  Got back in time for string golfing; they had 4 set up and a lot of people turned up for the 3:00 game. Warren and I lost our first two games, so we got to watch all the fun and be the cheering section.
Saturday night we went to the cafe for supper; wings and potato skins. Our food arrived on time, this time! The dance was great and we lived up to our reputation as "The Dancing Fools" and came home all sweaty! Don thinks I am the energizer bunny on the dance floor!  We did not sign up for Cliff's Sunday golf today, but thought we might try to have a game, just the two of us a little later. Temp is going to 77 today, but we are having some wind gusts whipping around at the moment.
Well that's your update for now!  Some pictures to share...
Hugs,
