A DATE WITH HISTORY

December 26. With Mother Lily, Dr. Voltaire Joseph, Rene, Estelita, Peter at Cabrillo National Monument in San Diego, CA.

The place which overlooks the city of San Diego was named after the explorer of California, Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo who and his crew "sailed into this harbor and became the first Europeans to set foot on what would later become the west cost of the United States."--from a post card.

It was late in the afternoon, when we arrived here and cars were still making a bee-line for the entrance where a fee was collected for each vehicle. DR. Bong flashed her mother's senior card for US parks and we were waved in by the guard in US uniform.
