On the eve of my departure to nearly the most northern point of the Pacific coast in the U.S. I bring pictures of nearly the most southern point of the Pacific coast in the U.S.!

I love the mural on this shop. I remembered it instantly from a trip to San Diego a couple years ago. This trip I bought some lotion from the shop.

I thought this was a very cool shop sign.

I got breakfast at a nearby cafe and had probably the best caramel mocha I've ever had. And a delicious chocolate scone to go along with it.

Near my hotel was a neighborhood with some very pretty rehabilitated Victorian era houses from the late 19th century. Too pretty not to take pictures of!

I really liked this one. Loved the color (obviously) and it had some very unique accents.

The turret of another house.

A very nice Queen Anne.

A very pretty Italianate. Love the overhanging roof.
![](http://pics.livejournal.com/missalee/pic/000b4kk3/s320x240)
This was too picturesque not to take a picture of.
![](http://pics.livejournal.com/missalee/pic/000b5spz/s320x240)
I liked the view of the porch with the house in the background.

A very colorful Bird of Paradise.

This grouping of plants and trees caught my eye.

I just loved the leaves of this plant. And the sun was just the perfect color.
I'm off to Seattle tomorrow! I may have some internet access and I'm planning on doing as much site seeing as I can in between training class sessions so I'll try to share some pictures and narrative.
