Once in San Diego and with a quiet day (haircut, lunch at Coco's, games of Ohell, ... ) in San Diego behind us, we headed to the Salk Institute where we had a physicist take these group photos though he didn't seem to understand light transport

After one more picture We headed off to Coronado Island and after parking the car, found our way to the entrance and beyond to this sign denoting this tree and then inside to the large tree that everyone was photographing before we made our way through the hotel to the back side where the human Zamboni was sweeping the ice in the skating rink (it was only 65 degrees that day) and then on to the beach with Dan and the views back to the hotel with Suzanne on the beach as Ben made his way so that Suzanne and Ben could pose for me before we went back and found this delightful bench where Suzanne and Sylvia then Ben then Suzanne and Sylvia and increasing groups of all of us posed occasionally interrupted by a passerby who wanted to take a group photo and so we obliged for these many photos

Next thing we knew, Suzanne had found Audrey and so I took this photo of Cara, Joel and Ben and then Ben took these pictures of me exploring Joel's new camera before we headed back to La Jolla and Ben and Suzanne posed with Mr. Claus before we headed to the Chinese restaurant for our holiday dinner and started with this Chinesse beer as Alan Cara Joel Ben Dansyl Audrey and Suzanne and I waited for the soups to come so that my hot and sour could be served along with the shrimp beef with broccoli chicken vegetarian and sweet and sour dishes along with rice tofu and the other 2 dishes whose identity I do not remember.
