San Diego 8: The Beaches of Torrey Pines, and Ramona, California, USA - 29th February 2008
Isobel's working in San Diego for a week, and as Nosher has not been out there for a while and has a heap of airmiles hanging around, it was decided to cash some of them in and go and visit for a long weekend. It's Nosher's eighth time out, but Isobel's first over a weekend, so it's a good chance to show a few of the places that Nosher used to visit. The first part of that involves a trip to the beach at Torrey Pines, just outside La Jolla, and then we're out to the desert, where we first stop off at the small town of Ramona.
