March, 2002

I took the following photo's of various locations around
Newport Beach in March, 2002.

I bicycled from my apartment in Irvine to Upper Newport Bay,
the Balboa Peninsula "Fun Zone", and the beach portion of Newport
Beach (on Balboa Peninsula).

I sorted the photo's by location along the bike trip, so
you can visualize the route.
