On the way from Mexico to Kansas

Coronado Sunset with Point Loma in the distance

2010 Coronado sunsets and dog beach - 2 010

From Wikipedia: Francisco Vázquez de Coronado y Luján (1510 – 22 September 1554) was a Spanish conquistador and explorer who led a large expedition from Mexico to present-day Kansas through parts of the southwestern United States.

From the beach last night I heard the cries of the Navy Seal trainees who were in forced drills during hell-week. Then I could see the lights flicker as they made zodiac landings on the rock jetty in front of the landmark Hotel del Coronado. At daybreak, they were running again. About 20% of them will make it through. Tomorrow it will likely be an ocean swim for a few miles. Then maybe helicopter rescues (which I videoed a few years ago). I imagine Coronado would be amazed, but would be an admirer.
