Sunday's Column - Del Mar

Sunday's column was about the small seaside town of Del Mar, in northern San Diego County.  It's a great place with small shops and wonderful beaches.

Regularly the Amtrak train to and from Los Angeles cuts through the west of the town which effectively divides it into two.  But the interruptions are quick, although disruptive.

The beaches are among the best in all of Southern California and the grass bluffs above give plenty of room for strolling and relaxing.

On the occasion of the visit, I took She Who Must Be Obeyed (S.W.M.B.O.) along and it was a masterly stroke as she thought it was a tremendous day out too.

Next time I drive down the 5 Freeway, I shall be tempted to make the short diversion west of the highway.  You can read the entire column at http://www.sbsun.com/trevorstravels/ci_21399555/del-mar-jewel-californias-coastline
