Friday - Legoland and traffic!

Drove up to Carlsbad to check out Legoland. Following advice from the staff, we bought a shoppers pass for 160 bucks and entered the grounds. After checking out the hotel, the first section of Legoland, and the lego shop, we walked back out the gates within the required hour and got our money back. A grandchild would be required to make a day pass worthwhile!


Our drive home was a full-on taste of rush hour traffic. We were once again amazed at the multi-laned highways filled with cars moving in all directions. We’ve read about the history of transportation choices in San Diego. It seems to be as much of a car culture as Los Angeles. Huge overpasses and on- and off-ramps dwarf the surroundings. The normal speed, even in bumper to bumper is 65 mph (110km). It feels like a serious form of Dodge-em with cars moving back and forth in the never-ending search for the fastest lane. Motorcycles play their own game of chicken, driving up white dotted lines between lanes, then dodging into spaces. Friday at 4:30 was probably the worst.
