Midway
A little break from the rigours of the convention and back in my hotel room in the Gaslamp district of San Diego watching the Man U v Barca game on the box. I haven't had much chance to see the city yet but I should correct that tomorrow and from what I've witnessed and heard, San Diego appears very promising. The weather thankfully has dropped about 20 degrees today after being up in the 90's on Sunday and Monday, a tad hot to be darting between meetings but otherwise tiredness aside, self-inflicted of course, I have had a good couple of days.
This part of San Diego, has seen a gentrification frenzy in recent years and they have done a nice job with the 'historic' areas. From my hotel room window I can see the huge USS Midway, which is a 1,000ft long aircraft carrier used in Vietnam and Operation Desert Storm and now a museum. A reminder to visitors that San Diego despite it's charm is also home to the world's largest naval fleet. ¶ 15:07
