7/11/13 - San Diego, CA

It was sprinkling a little this morning and we needed to wash sheets and clothes so we stayed around camp this morning and took care of it.  Then we drove to the Mission Basilica San Diego de Alcala.  This is the first of many California missions and was founded in 1769.  After touring the mission we drove back into San Diego and took a tour of the U.S.S. Midway, an aircraft carrier decommissioned in 1991.  After going through the ship it was rush hour so we drove a few blocks over and had a beer at Karl Strauss Brewing.  We tried to go to another brewery but it was near Petco Park and there was a baseball game going on tonight.  The traffic was backing up near it and there was no street parking for us to go to the brewery so we just drove back to the Casita.  Just before getting there we stopped at an In-N-Out Burger and got some food for supper.
