Chez Josh, San Diego, CA
Today was about as perfect as it gets. Warm weather, sea breezes, biking, and spending time with Josh.
La Jolla Cliffs
While Josh got some work in, Ned and I went out for breakfast. We stumbled upon this too cool for us coffee shop complete with a self serve coffee bar. There was at least 10 different coffee choices. The menu had things on it like pitaya bowls. We had no idea what they were so we settled for traditional things like poached eggs (yes, Uncle Bud the chicken laid an egg on the table) and an omelette.
I learned later what a pitaya bowl was so now am feeling a little bummed I didn't get it! (Turns out it's a dragon fruit-granola- yogurt bowl.)
One of my favorite bike rides is the path from Mission Bay to La Jolla. The people watching is epic.
We came upon Slomo, saw yoga on the beach, drummers, beach volleyball and smash ball to just name a few things.
Riding thru all the streets of La Jolla and looking at all the swanky houses was as much fun as the people watching.
After beach time was Balboa Park time. We were going to take in some museums, but the weather was so perfect we didn't want to go inside. We settled for more people watching and strolling along the promenade and thru Spanish village.
Tonight Josh took us on a bike ride thru various San Diego neighborhoods. We had a great time riding thru North Park, Normal Heights, Kensington, University Heights and Hillcrest. So fun to see all the different houses, restaurants and shops. I also really enjoyed having no idea where we were headed. Just blindly followed him down alleys and streets. So freeing to just ride!
Ned and I rode about 25 miles today. It almost justified the Indian meal tonight.
I really miss Josh not living close by, but love visiting him in San Diego. Thanks Josh for making our stay in San Diego so wonderful.
