Before going to LA, I am in San Diego today for a meeting.
Strange thing here... I was going to walk from my hotel, less than a mile to the office building when the hotel staff completely freaked out and insisted on calling the hotel shuttle. They said I simply could not walk all that way. The whole two minute ride to the office the driver kept saying... "Oh yeah... look at this... it's all uphill!"
It really didn't look that far to me... sidewalks the whole way. Kinda funny. But at least I was able to persuade the driver to swing by Jamba Juice and In-n-Out Burger on the way back to the hotel.
If there is one funny quirk about San Diego is that we don't walk anywhere! When we go on trips (Seattle, SF, Chicago, Hawaii, anywhere else really) we find we're always walking from Point A to Point B because it's faster, we don't have to get a taxi, or parking is awful. I marvel at how much we walk when out of town and then we come home and keep driving even a couple miles down the road!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoyed your little trip here - sorry your visit coincided with the wacky heat wave. We were out of town to Philadelphia and came home to find even worse weather!
