Hot wintertimes in California

Arriving in San Diego (by plane from Houston), we rented a car for the next two weeks to start our roadtrip through the Southwest of the States.

Before leaving for the roadtrip, we spent one day in San Diego, staying with Moe and Karl, and their dogs Armani and Mia. San Diego has great weather year-round (we had about 25 degrees Celsius - not bad for the middle of January), perfect for spending time at one of its many great beaches and coastlines; we especially liked La Jolla (where sea lions are chilling in the sun), Black's Beach (a beautiful nudist beach which can only be accessed by a 20-minute hike), and Coronado (an island with great views of downtown, and a beautiful long beach in front of a huge attractive Victorian Hotel).

Moe and Karl, on the morning after having taken us out for wine and dinner (during which Charlie's ex-flatmate Barry from Glasgow and his girlfriend Louise joined us - great to catch up), went for a superb breakfast with us (Açai bowl with fruits), which was representative for their great and unforgettable hospitality.
