Walking around town here is easy and safe. The cars actually stop for you when you are at the corner in the cross walk. But you better not walk across the street in the middle of the block. If the police man spots you, he will arrest you and handcuff you, while he makes out a ticket and gives you a steep fine. Only then will he take off the handcuffs. We observed two tickets issued for jaywalking here in the gas lamp area of San Diego. Horns are never heard here. I don't know if it is the custom or the law. We walked everywhere and was a great pleasure.
This afternoon we took a trolley ride. The system is very easy. For a daily pass of five dollars, we were able to rode as much as we wanted. Phyllis figured out how to buy the tickets, which she said was a miracle. First we rode the orange line for thirty minutes, then switched to the blue line which took us to the Old Town. After wandering around and eating lunch, we rode yet two more trolleys, finally arriving at the Gas Lamp area and to our hotel. The trolley system is very convenient and inexpensive, yet another plus when visiting San Diego.
Nothing is better than walking around down town and having the cars stop for you at the corners. It was just like walking around Liverpool in Nova Scotia!!
