Courtyard By Marriott San Luis Obispo

Hate the refrigerator in this room. Complained about it to the manager, little good it did. It keeps things really cold, however with random cacophony of sound that managed to keep me awake. I laid there, waiting for the sound to start!<br> Up and ate breakfast which wasn't too bad. They had coffee so everything is good. We drove down to the Rock as Mom's knees won't allow her to walk too far and not up and down hills. We walked up ...

... to move you up and down. The refrigerator periodically makes weird sounds, like it is trying to die. Hopefully it does not continue. <br> After putting everything away in the room, I drove us to the Rock. The Rock is the home to many birds, including Peregrine falcons, although we did not see them today. To the north lies the beach strand, and to the south lies a sea break and the opening into the harbor. The tide was ...

well what a day we've had. we woke in san fran to a heavy fog so the things we wanted to do we couldn't see! we found Lombard street and so did the windy road thing. we made our way to under the G/Gate Bridge and walked to the beginning of the bridge but we could barely see it-all you could hear was foghorns! so we left san fran and headed south. we got off the freeway for a coffee and found this place called ...

We had a brilliant night in our tent. It was the perfect climate, and the perfect surroundings. <br><br>We did not visit the Cracked Crab for lunch after all. I did not think it was reasonable to have such a large, pricey meal for lunch! I did however get the best clam chowder from Splash's Cafe! I have had too many clam chowders since we arrived on the coast at San Francisco, and this was by far the best!!!!<br>

... as it is rather busy, given the time of the year. Perhaps this is how they justify increasing their rates.... people seem to flock here, regardless of the price!<br><br>Morro Bay is a much larger town than I&#8217;d expected! It features the Morro Rock, which is an extinct volcano, and sadly they also feature a massive power plant, which struggles with the Morro Rock for their share of the landscape.<br><br>What I didn&#8217 ...

... their location provides them. The city and campus winds through the California mountains, and is located just close enough to the ocean to feel that cool sea-side breeze. The weather was nearly perfect, although Chelsea thought it was a bit too chilly. The two found their motel, and checked in. They both took quick showers to wash off all of the sand and ocean debris from their ...

... to do laps in the future!!!! It is an indoor pool, probably 25 m in length, and is tiled in 14 carat gold and blue tiles. Hopefully will get a pic of it included today. The tour, and the guide, were excellent. You start at the base from the Visitors Centre and travel by us (takes 15 mins) to the top of the hill, about 1300 feet up overlooking the San Simeon area and the Monterey peninsula. The views are fabulous, and by the time we got to this area the fog was well and truly ...

... living in San Luis Obispo, CA while he finishes up his Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the California Polytechnic Institute San Luis Obispo. We are thinking about teaching English in South Korea for a year or two after he graduates. I'm just itching to travel outside the U.S. again and with the economy being so lousy and the fact that we don't have kids, a mortgage, or career jobs yet we figure no time like the present.

... we had questioned our decision, but now, walking through Central California in it's spring time splendor, we had no doubt that we had made the right decision. Everywhere we turn there are magnificent spring wildflowers. Our photographs do not do them justice. The California poppies seem to like rocky outcrops and they really glow in the sunlight. The colors and textures of the roadside flowers took our breath away. One flower, the Redwood Sorrel was endemic to the area ...

... Who can do skipping (Seilhüpfen) the longest. It was really funny. On Friday we had a mandatory international student meeting. There are about 90 international students who start studying at CalPoly this Quarter. Most of them are only staying for one or two quarters. There are many from Sweden, Danemark, France, Finnland, Asia and of course Germany (the most: 20). We were told what we can/have to/should do. From 9am ...
