Cabrillo Point

was spied by the first European in 1542 when Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo came ashore.  The site is now a national monument and features a small museum and the Point Loma lighthouse.

When it got dark, the park ranger chased us out of the park.  I drove downtown and walked around.  Always looking for something we don't see back home, I stopped in a tattoo parlor.

Our seminar concluded Wednesday afternoon.  On Thursday, I ventured south to Tijuana.
