Here are a few pictures of our environment and everyday life
in San Diego and Del Mar.
|
Almost everyday : 'pic-nics' on the beach ! |
 |
|
|
 |
Everyday, it's essentially the lab at the
Salk Institute and the famous courtyard facing incredible sunsets. |
|
|
Almost everyday at the bottom of our street:
beautiful Pacific Ocean waves ! |
 |
|
|
 |
You can almost see them from our apartment... |
|
|
... at least between October and February you
can't miss the sunset (picture taken early January 2003 from our balcony) |
 |
|
|
 |
Too big for surfing in Del Mar... but what a
show
! |
|
|
Quite hard to live without a car here...
We took the smallest we found: a Chevy tracker... |
 |
|
|
 |
... and this is our complex with everything
you need... |
|
|
... especially the Ocean nearby ! We were
leaving in Del Mar, the beach here is protected from the cars (and tourists)
by a small sand cliff. |
 |
|
|
 |
Here are the cliffs and the waves. |
|
|
Del Mar is a nice place -almost a village- in
the North of San Diego. Lot's of flowers and surfers, lot's of money too,
but people stay simple. On a board everybody is equal for the waves. |
 |
|
|
 |
Nice wave ! |
|
|
Here is me and my board in Del Mar of course.
I spend a lot of time with dolphins and pelicans waiting for the good wave,
more than I spend 'on the board' really. |
 |
|
|
 |
San Diego Bay, a fabulous sailing area right
downtown. |
|
|
San Diego has almost no history (with respect
to our Old Europe), but the first buildings are kept religiously. |
 |
|
|
 |
Downtown San Diego from
Harbor Island. |
|
|
One has to work from time to time. Here is my
working place: the Salk Institute. The architecture is radical and very
prone to reflexion /reflection. |
 |
|
|
 |
... no, this is not a swimming pool, just the
terrasse for lunch at the Salk Institute. |
|
|
In case the experiments don't work, you can
just head down the cliffs with your board to Black's beach below. |
 |
|
|
 |
San Diego is also famous for its zoo... |
|
|
... and its sunsets over the Pacific Ocean. |
