Cabrillo National Monument and Los Palomas Lighthouse

Before leaving San Diego, we headed up to the top of the hilltops in San Diego to the Cabrillo National Monument and Los Palomas Lighthouse.  Cabrillo was a Spanish explorer, who landed upon the shores of San Diego around 1510.     The view, 400 feet up on the hilltop, was beautiful. 
San Diego is a huge port.  The military presence there is quite impressive.  After all, it is the south-western point of the US.  In case you're wandering why a picture of an avocado is in the line-up???  They grow these beside the lighthouse.  There is a garden in honor of the lighthouse keepers, wife, who grew her own vegetables and used water from the cistern.  I have never seen avocados in a garden.  Just wanted a picture.
After our sight-seeing, we drove to Doheny Beach at Dana Point in Southern California.  The RV park was full.  No where else to stay, so we pulled into the trusty Wal Mart, pulled the curtains and spent the night.  Tomorrow morning, we'll head out for Catalina Island.  A twenty-two mile island off the coast of Los Angeles.
Enjoy the pics.
