This was the happy scene last night at the Hotel Del Coronado's temporary ice skating rink. Skating by the Pacific Ocean beneath swaying palm trees is just one more sublime pleasure of living in Coronado.
A line of patient skaters waited to enter the rink, while the rest of us sipped hot cocoa or a glass of wine, enjoying the magical holiday scene. And yes, there were a few people wearing shorts, although I wore a sweater and jeans in the evening chill.
