Yep, there is that about those onshore breezes in the evenings. I think about San Diego when you talk about the weather there. There was still enough of the surrounding area to be open with small farms.
The last time I was there was after the Rodney King riots. I didn’t even recognize the place.
It’s true; San Diego has the same sort of pattern, but warmer.
I haven’t been down there since the mid-1990’s, though. Closest I’ve come is La Jolla on a trip to Legoland in — I think — 2006...
