Mount Soledad is a prominent landmark in the city of San Diego. The mountaintop is the site of the Mount Soledad cross, the subject of a 25-year controversy over the involvement of religion in government (correctly stated "the involvement of government in religion" since the First Amendment attempts to restrict government interference in religion, not the other way around), which concluded in 2016.

Located in the south end of La Jolla, the rocky shore of Windansea Beach is perhaps best known for its beautiful scenery and surf breaks created by underwater reefs. Much of Windansea experiences moderate to severe shore break, a condition on steep beaches which results in hard breaking surf right at the shoreline. This makes it a popular location for surfing, however, swimmers should enter and exit the water carefully to prevent potentially serious injury. Sandstone rocks act as partitions along the beach offering a secluded atmosphere for sunbathing.

Rancho Santa Fe is a historic town originally built by the Santa Fe Railway selling lots for "gentleman farmers". Today the town still radiates the theme of a Spanish Village. The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe was the original sales office built in 1920's to house guests and prospective buyers. If open, it is nice to stop in at the RSF Historic Society office on Via de Santa Fe for a map and self tour.

Arts & Culture

Special art exhibits.In 1998, a group of San Diego area art patrons and philanthropists joined with Reesey Shaw, the founding Director of the California Center for the Arts Museum, to discuss how they might encourage a better understanding of visual art in the San Diego community. They agreed that what was needed was something more than a typical museum; they envisioned a place where visitors would be directly exposed to the artistic process in a way that immediately engaged viewers and demystified visual art. The vision began to take shape when Ramona Sahm joined the board as president and donated one million dollars in seed money. The founders named the new endeavor Lux, Latin for “light,
