Car Show in Customs House Plaza

Some random car show was happening in the Customs House Plaza in downtown Monterey today. It’s crazy how we constantly have these amazing car shows with basically no notification to the locals before they show up. You never know what you’ll see when you wander down toward the waterfront.

Abortive Trip to Spain

I was supposed to go to Spain for some meetings but never got past San Diego. So instead of pictures in Spain, here are pictures in San Diego while we waited for flights back up to Monterey. The flights were so screwed up, they couldn’t get us to anywhere in Europe for three days which would have been after our meetings.

Getting on the plane and taking off from Monterey. We were delayed by fog in San Diego from taking off in Monterey. By the time we took off, we already knew we weren’t making our next flight.

Wonderful views heading down the California coast.

Coming into San Diego. The airport here is basically right in the middle of downtown. It’s crazy this big city still has their airport right next to skyscrapers. Someday maybe they’ll build a new airport outside of town.

My coworker and I spent the rest of the day down by the marinas. There wasn’t anything else to do because they couldn’t get us to Spain in time for it to be worthwhile nor could they get us back to Monterey until the next day.
