from Bostonia we went North about 5 miles to Lakeside. had our dinner in the Auto Camp. there is a pond there with a lot of ducks in. the scenery around here was fine. hills in all directions we wanted to come back a different road but it was under repairs to Santee. came back a few miles on another road but missed Santee. bought some oranges at a road side stand 2 doz for 45¢ the best we have had yet. arrived home. about five.

Jan 15th. Saturday. did not go out until late. just drove down the canyon road through Balboa Park it goes down through the Park and under the big bridge it seems awful high from the bottom. the side of the road in the hills are covered mostly with evergreen trees. firs. cypress and all kinds of pines. the best joke of all is about the Torrey pines. there was one whole block acres of them here.
