J for ... Cabrillo?

So for my first week back since finals, I went to the Cabrillo National Monument. No, I really can spell. The park is named for Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, discoverer of California.

For just five dollars an entire carload of people can go into this beautiful national park full of gorgeous views and interesting historical tidbits.







One little known fact is that Cabrillo was actually originally from Portugal and he changed his name when he moved to Spain. His original name was João Rodrigues Cabrilho.


Another lovely part of the park is the Old Point Loma Lighthouse.
