San Diego

Sorry it's been so long since I've blogged. I've been super busy since I've been back from San Diego. What a WONDERFUL time. The traffic wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Even during rush hour, people were patient and polite. They expected to wait a while to get somewhere, so nobody was weaving in-and-out of traffic or being rude. I was 20 minutes away from several small beach communities - my favorite being La Jolla. Chris and I watched the sunset in La Jolla almost every evening he was there.




Here's a nice picture of my honey watching the sunset at La Jolla. There were seals that would come up on a particular stretch of the beach. I have pictures of them too, but the blogger would only let me load so many pictures. :>) I'll have to blog again tomorrow and put some more up. We went to Seaport Village and snapped a picture of a naval ship as it went by. We also went to Imperial Beach for the sandcastle building tournament. It's absolutely unbelieveable what people can make with water and sand. I particularly liked the hog on his "hog". :>)


I dined like a queen every night I was there - I went to fancy restaurants and had lamb, chocolate cake, wine, baked brie with apricots, GENUINE hispanic food that was to die for.....and I only came back a little more than a pound heavier. :>) (Which I took off, by the way) The trip was just what I needed professionally and personally. I hope they send me back for some follow-up training!

Oh - I also met a wonderful woman at the office while I was out there. Her name is Terry. She was born in Mexico and came to San Diego as a child. She is retired from the armed forces. Part of her duties while she was on base was to take guests on sight-seeing tours of the city. She and I went out several evenings. If it wasn't for Terry, I wouldn't have seen the real San Diego. I am forever in her debt for showing me such a wonderful time and for allowing me in to her life briefly to learn about real Hispanic culture.

More pictures tomorrow.....
