Picnic in the park
January 5th, 2010 , 5:23
Took our time getting up and out today. Once ready we headed for the camera shop so Joe could get some stuff. Very nice shop with very helpful staff. As we were getting ready to leave we were talking about breakfast and the woman at the counter told us about a place called Marketplace and recommended we get a sandwich there. So we followed directions and found the place, right by the park. They do make wonderful sandwiches and we got sandwiches, crisps and drinks and had lunch in the park, at Redwood Circle. Watched closely by squirrels who were obviously hoping some of that lunch was their’s.
We then walked over the bridge into Balboa Park. Joe took loads of photos and we stopped to get a map. We ended up not going into any of the museums or the zoo, but instead just walked around the park. Then walked back down into downtown San Diego where we did a bit of shopping.
A bit of a mixed day. Lost an earring, didn’t manage to get my San Diego badge, feet hurt, and dinner was uninspiring. We went to the recommended seafood place but it wasn’t that great. So-so service and food.
On the plus side, we saw a great deal of San Diego, had a lovely warm sunny day, got some shopping done, and had a picnic in the park.
