Old Town San Diego

MARGARITAS AND MEXICAN CUISINE

Greetings and salutations from Old Town San Diego. Our daughter invited us to spend the afternoon with her family here. We had a fun time, ate some good food and washed it down with some margaritas.

We are almost ready to take off for the summer, all the doctors appointments out of the way, with healthy results. Some upgrades and maintenance items handled on the coach and the Jeep. This was an excellent opportunity to play tourist before our departure.

MEXICAN SALAD BAR, MUCHOS NOPALES

It's been quite a while since we visited Old Town. There are new shops and restaurants, and many of the old traditional places are still there. The landscaping is different and well done. Mostly in containers and mostly cacti and succulants. Nicely displayed.

MEXICAN BUNNY HOP

I'm not sure why, whether it was Cinco de Mayo approaching, or some other celebration, but there was constant folklorico type dancing. Very colorful and entertaining.

FLOWER AMONG THE CACTI

Recognize this seniorita?

MEXICAN FOXTROT

We hope you are all having a wonderful Spring that flows into a great summer. For those of you that will be traveling, please stay in touch, maybe we can hook up somewhere. We will be in bordering states for a month or so, then probably up Oregon, Washington, then East through Idaho, Wyoming and into South Dakota by early October to renew our drivers licenses. We will start the trek back to San Diego in early October.
