CHECKING OUT SAN DIEGO

WE SPENT YESTERDAY CHECKING OUT OUR TERRITORY AND WHERE THE GROCERY STORES ARE AND THE CHURCH (ABOUT 5 MINUTES FORM HERE) ETC. WE ARE SURROUNDED BY FREEWAYS AND IT WILL TAKE AWHILE TO FIGURE IT ALL OUT. DID A TRIAL DRIVE TO THE BATTALION SITE IN OLD TOWN AND THEN TO THE SAN DIEGO TEMPLE TO SEE HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE ON DAYS WE HAVE TO DRIVE.

WE TOOK THE BATTALION TOUR IN SPANISH WHICH WAS FUN. I UNDERSTOOD ABOUT EVERY 100TH WORD. BUT I DO WANT TO LEARN THE DIALOGUE IN SPANISH SO EVENTUALLY I CAN DO IT. (SENIOR AVALOS WOULD BE SO PROUD OF ME)

WE HAVE NOW MET ALL THE OTHER SENIOR COUPLE WHO ARE HERE. WE WILL REPLACE THE BRENCHLYS WHO ARE FROM SALT LAKE. THE WOODBURY'S ALSO WILL BE LEAVING AND THEY ARE FROM SALT LAKE. THE SEEGMILLER'S FROM SOUTH JORDAN ARE THE NEW DIRECTORS. THE STALLINGS WILL BE HERE FOR A FEW MORE MONTHS AND THEY ARE FROM TWIN FALLS.  THERE WILL BE ANOTHER COUPLE COMING FROM OAKLEY,UTAH WITH US.

WE ENDED THE DAY BY GETTING LOST ON THE FREEWAY ON OUR WAY TO SEE THE SUNSET. "FLO" OUR GPS WENT "BELLYUP" ON US IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY SO WE HAD TO DO IT THE OLD FASHIONED WAY BY USING OUR OWN INTELLECT. (SHE IS GOING BACK TO COSTCO TODAY. CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT A GPS HERE.) WE FINALLY MADE IT TO THE SUNSET CLIFFS  ROAD AND DROVE ALONG THE BEACH DRIVE. PARKED FOR AWHILE TO SEE THE SUNSET. THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE HAD HIGH SURF THAT DAY AND WE WANTED TO SEE IT BUT IT WASN'T ANYTHING GREAT SO WE MUST HAVE MISSED THE TIME. THE SUNSET WAS NICE AND IT WAS STRANGE TO SEE PEOPLE SWIMMING AND SURFING IN JANUARY.
