We started exploring San Diego with a visit to Little Italy (click here if you didn't see it yet -
Little Italy - A week in San Diego, day 1 - part 01)... But that happened the day after we arrived... and there was still a day before... the day we traveled...
The day before was Friday. Just a regular Friday with half a day of work, a drive to the airport and some waiting around for our plane to take off. Take off, fly over Dinosaur Ridge and begin the journey across the Rocky Mountains...
Everything looked just fine... mountain ridges and valleys... Beautiful mountains...
But soon we got to enjoy the sight of snow-covered ridges! And we liked it a lot! Snow means water. Water means next year might not be as dry as this one. Let's keep our fingers crossed, shall we?
Further down the road, we saw some of Utah's landscapes, with both natural and man-made patterns on the ground below. Well, who said flying was boring? It wasn't boring at all!
It took less than two hours to reach California, and it was nice to see something different from deserts and canyons ;)
Clouds! There were clouds! And lots of green underneath the wings. We were getting closer to our destination...
Here we are! San Diego appeared below us, and the plane was descending so quickly...
The bridge to Coronado! Doesn't it look cool? Later we'll drive across it a few times, but we'll never see it from this angle again :)
San Diego International Airport is located right in the middle of the city. On the way in, the plane flies so close to all those downtown buildings!
And finally, we landed. Right on the runway, so close to the ocean...
Well... It was a short flight. But renting a car and finding our Airbnb took a while... And then we drove out to get some groceries... but that's the start of the next chapter (which you probably already read :) ).
