LOL! I'm sure that you know that small boats toss more in the waves than a
naval vessel. When you're in the bottom of a swell, it's weird to see
nothing but water all around you. That is, until you get used to the idea.
That never happened while I was cruising the lakes in the midwest.

Yes, that's still there, but has been expanded with it's own elevated
track now.

Today, it goes through a big terminal, where you can get a line south,
east and north.

I don't know where that school was, but it does go by the Convention
Center downtown, then into National City to the border.
