Several walks today.

This morning it was around downtown, mostly near the water. I saw many colors, much life, and even a little bit of history.

The above Archives Month banner is hanging from the City Administration Building. It shows interesting bits of San Diego History, including the 1887 Circus Parade, construction of Balboa Park for the 1915 Panama-California Exposition, and aircraft over downtown celebrating the end of World War I.
