Moments before landing from the east, I got a good look at downtown, San Diego Bay, the Coronado Bridge, a number of naval ships and we came in right over Interstate 5.
Landing in San Diego, California
Flying west into southern California
I was sitting on the left side of the plane. That gave me a good view of the south toward Mexico.
Not long before landing, I could see the desert, some mountains in the direction of Mexico and a couple of reservoirs that I wasn’t able to identify.
I’m guessing the dry looking areas I saw were part of the Sonoran Desert including the Colorado Desert. I might have even seen a little bit of the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park.
Fredericksburg Brewing Company still serving it up
I stopped in at the Fredericksburg Brewing Company, the oldest operating brew pub in Texas.
You know you’re in Fredericksburg when the restaurant not only makes its own beer, but also made from scratch peach cobbler.
“Hier Wird mit Liebe Gekocht” means “cooking with love here”.
New Selena mural by Optek_Art
There is a new tribute to the Queen of Tejano Music on the western edge of downtown San Antonio. The mural is the work of Roland Alvarez – also known as Optek_Art.
This is at the corner of West Houston and North Leona about two blocks north of UTSA Downtown and a block east of Frio Street.

Mural by Jenkins2d in San Antonio near Broadway and McCollough next to KLRN
The KLRN building is right on the corner. There is a parking lot in front of the mural that I believe used to be the home of one of the city’s horse-drawn carriage companies.

Murals along the Broadway corridor near downtown San Antonio
Studebaker art by Los Otros Murals on Broadway Street in San Antonio
They are located just north of the Alamo Plaza area by where Broadway hits 3rd Street.
The first two images are where the murals are on the outside of building. The last few images show murals behind glass – where you can see lots of reflections, including me taking the pictures.
