Day 16: Culver City to San Diego

Leaving town took a lot longer than I thought it would. This shouldn't surprise me by now but it still does. I stopped but a nearby farmers market which was very inconveniently located in a hospital that charges for parking. I ended up with some nice dried fruit and navel oranges as well as some tangerines that, unfortunately, are gross. I drove down highway 1 through some fun looking beach towns but didn't really get to check them out because of the late start. I did stop to take some pictures in Palos Verde Estates:



I stopped here to eat my lunch, it looked like an enjoyable resort town.

One of the many hotels/condos by the water.


After an inland stretch of highway one that goes through the foreign planet/industrial area of Long Beach, it finally get scenic again around Huntington Beach.


Right around sunset I detoured through Balboa Island in Newport Beach to check out the yachts. I did not get the greatest views nor did I really spend enough time there, but I had another 80 miles to go yet so I didn't want to dawdle. It was dark once I reached Laguna Beach but from what I could see it looked like a nice place to visit as well.

Once I made it to Eveline's we went to In N Out burger for a rather late dinner. I got the cheeseburger with grilled onions. I'd do that again.

Tomorrow: most likely Balboa Park and/or The Zoo.
