If you plan to visit La Jolla, I suggest that you order a copy of the La Jolla DVD Postcard. It will tell you virtually everything that you need to know about our jewel.

I’ll write a post about it some day.  The one thing I didn’t have was a nice hospital gown.  In fact, I had the stereotypical ugly, “bare it all” kind. Former La Jollan, Rachel Zinny, saw [...]
