San Diego 8: The beaches of Torrey Pines and Ramona, California, USA - 29th February 2008
Isobel's working in San Diego for a week, and as Nosher has not been out there for a while, and has a heap of airmiles hanging around, it was decided to cash some of them in and go and visit for a long weekend.

It's also a lot warmer than the UK at this time of year, and despite the odd spot of cloud over San Diego, it's generally gorgeous weather - especially out in the desert. So, on Saturday, we take the V-8 Mustang out for a spin into the Anza Borrego State Park and out to the Salton Sea...
