Coronado, California - Day 1
The Emerald Shapery Center is recognized as one of the finest projects of its type in the country as is evidenced by the fact that it has been featured on the cover of 41 publications in addition to being recognized in the Sunday edition of the New York Times and USA Today.
The Center's sixteen-sided tower offers spectacular views of Mexico to the south, San Diego Harbor to the west, the California coastline to the north and downtown/Balboa Park to the east.

We left the Santa Barbara area this morning and headed for Coronado. We were concerned about getting caught up in L. A. traffic......which is constant! Yikes!
We were fortunate after an hour plus of heavy traffic to drive out of it and keep up with the pace.
We also were allowed to drive in the "carpool" lane because we had three passengers.
And....we were glad that there were no accidents or road construction!
Crossing the Coronado Bay Bridge
It has been 25 years since last we were in Coronado.
I was surprised how emotional I became finally arriving in Coronado -
.....being with Linda...she was emotional too.
It was good to finally arrive in Coronado.
It was good to know we had made it this far in our trip.... (Mt. Shasta and Coronado were my goal).
It was good to be out of the mountains and traffic.....and to have a chance to catch our breath!

Crossing the Bridge.....just so you know.....the bridge will withstand an 8 point on the Richter scale!
