one of the top cities in america so when you come here just know you're in one of the best places in america to visit let's keep going [Music] in case you're wondering san diego actually has a population of 1.4 million in the actual city but if you go outside in the metro areas which include uh ocean beach and all those other suburbs la jolla and whatnot you're actually looking at about 3.5 million people in the san diego metro area so it is a pretty big city but san diego alone is the eighth largest city in america all right so here we are in downtown at seaport village we're going to walk around show you guys what seaport village has going on [Music] yeah so out here in san diego harbor as i said earlier they got a lot of maritime traffic air traffic also for the military because

towards uh silver strand lots of white sand beach up down here right outside of coronado island by the hotel del coronado [Music] you know something that's really nice about san diego and this whole area down in southern california is it's like a mediterranean tropical subtropical climate so you get lots of vegetation especially the closer you are to the beach because it doesn't freeze so you get plants like this these birds of paradise bananas and all sorts of different tropicals that grow down here you know since we're in a beach community out here in coronado let's see what they got for

and all of the country on the west coast at least but the problem is is that it was so high up there that the fog in the marine layer would sometimes make it hard to see the actual light from a distance but on a clear day they could see it as far as 36 miles away a captain reported seeing it that far but then they lowered the lighthouse to a lower elevation and they discontinued this and now it's here at the national park the old cistern right there made it to the lighthouse this is where they used to do rain catchment catch the rainwater right here [Music] [Music] yeah so here you can

could call them a pillbox but you can see they've kind of boarded them up but the soldiers would sit in there with machine guns or some sort of artillery to protect the base so this here is for rosecrans yeah so this is a coastal uh artillery station right here from 1943 to 1946 that was world war ii during the pacific campaign they were worried about an invasion coming from asia japan and
