On a recent trip we were able to visit the Cabrillo monument. Its located at the tip of Point Loma. It was an awful overcast day which made it hard to get a good picture of the monument. But with patients it can work out.
When Cabrillo ventured from what is now Mexico city to discover gold in this new country. He named this area San Miguel. But I guess that wasn't good enough. Another explorer renamed it San Diego. Unfortunately for Cabrillo, he did not return from this voyage. His crew did make it back with nothing to show for their efforts.
But hey! When was the last time you went on a two year voyage to undiscovered lands?
