San Diego
Second largest city, to Los Angeles, is San Diego. However the belt at satellite cities is missing, thus is the region San Diego by far not so population-strongly as for instance to metropolitan San Francisco . After the discovery also the investigation of the west coast took time Americas not for a long time. The sailor Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo its foot already set 1542 on those San Diego Bay pre-aged peninsula. But only 1769 created the Franziskanerpater Junipero Serra the mission San Diego de Alcalá. But only the Pearl Habour disaster brought considerable stimulation to the city by the replacement of the Pacific supreme command from Hawaii to San Diego. San Diego provided this and above all the leisure company of the postwar era its current meaning. Equipped with outstanding climatic and geographical suitability the city is suitable excellently for an all-season outdoor Living between beach, Swimming pool, tennis and golf course. In San Diego the whole year are over pleasant temperatures. In January the daily thermometers under 18°C and in the summer hardly climbs he falls for it rarely over 30°C. At max. sun exposure and few rain days! If one still the flourishing border tourism after Tijuana in Mexico, where some is permitted to San Diegos, in USA a prohibition is subject to what, in addition counts, explains this sufficiently the ascending development. San Diego Beach Highlife liked among young Americans predominantly takes place in the northern suburbs La Jolla, Muirlans and Pacific Beach. Here the most delightful beaches with expanded mansion quarters are situated. Toward the south they were limited by the Mission Bay, earlier brackish water sumps, those to a sea and a park landscape were transformed with beaches, Marinas and the well-known Sea World Complex.
Ocean Beach and La Playa below that the Mission Bay with the Point Loma and North San Diego Bay limit the area to the east.
Downtown is a visible city centre at the inside of the North San Diego Bay with the adjacent, high-altitude Balboa park and the Coronado peninsula on the other side. In direct proximity of the crossing range from I-5 and I-8 the old Town is situated. The second largest accumulation of mash lakes (behind Washington D.C.) park is in the Balboa. A 560 hectar global park with subtropical vegetation and a meeting complex loads to a out-curving walk in. In the park are also San Diego Zoo, not only the largest of USA, but also the best.
And who already once in San Diego stays, would like to undertake perhaps also a small excursion to Mexico. Tijuana is situated as it were directly around the corner and a short term entry to Mexico for 72 hours is problem-free possible. One experiences details to the departure at the transit net curtain at Broadway. Also with the rented car a passage should be feasible. One needs only an additional insurance on Mexican side. One should take one day, or better one night into account for this Trip. It seemed to us at that time in such a way, as if form for Tijuana the amusing mile San Diegos.
