James Curtis San Diego adventures

Very hot night tonight in San Diego and San Diego adjacent.  We have to sleep with windows open and the fan if you are like us and don't have AC.

Getting hotter in San Diego.  Need to water the plants more.  But at least the days are nice and long.  The sun doesn't set until 8:30pm.  Here is a review I did of Chiba restaurant in Tierrasanta a while back :  James Curtis review of San Diego's Chiba Restaurant

Beautiful day here in the City of Diego and we took a trolley ride downtown.  Saw the structure for the new library althou I don't see why we needed one given that most people dont even read books (dead trees) anymore.  Took in a Padres game and had hot dogs with sauerkraut.  And Coronado was nice after we went over the bridge and them hanged out in that park that is on the right hand side after you come off the bridge.

Wow this was a beautiful weekend.  We had picnics in La Jolla and Mission Beach and brunches at the San Diego Hilton and Hyatt Islandia.  The air was dewey sweet and with a slight breeze. Good Padre game and then dinner downtown in the Gaslamp plus almost forgot a walk on the beach in Coronado.  Tacos at El Gordo and some sight seeing mostly along the beaches area. July is such a nice month to be in Soutern California and we are all blessed to be able to enjoy it, especially if you have friends and family.

Nice cool night in SD. Bought an awesome rib eye steak from Trader Joes and broiled it and it came out perfectly.  Also had some mashed potatoes and boiled carrots.  Went to the San Diego Wild Animal Part on Saturday morning and took the tram around with the family and it was really nice.  Then went to Farmer Boys for hamburgers.  And had some peas that were bursting with country fresh flavor.  Then to sleep nice and early.

Been at La Jolla Shores today watching people agape at the sightings on Monday of a great white shark off the coast of La Jolla Shores, San Diego coastline. There were a lot fewer people in the water on Tuesday.  I'd say one-tenth of the usual number and they were almost all surfers or people just wading in to about mid body. But it was a beautiful day and we had a bbq in the park looking out over the beach and I remembered the nature trails around University of California San Diego and we walked around there.  It was very desolte of course because school is out for the summer and there are only a few summer classes going on. Then went to downtown La Jolla and ate at Trulock's and had the stone crabs and I also had a steak tarate which is what I always eat on holidays.

Getting a lot done this week.  San Diego Fair and racetrack is open and I love to try all the super fattening foods.  I don't go on the rides much anymore, but I do enjoy the ribbon winning booths and set ups.  Best of all you see a lot of different types of people from San Diego who flock here every year. Actually I do always go on the ferris wheel every year of course and that is technically a ride and I can see the hot air ballon landing site.  Also the Pacific Ocean from way up there.  It's the best fair in Southern California in the summer and I hope everyone tries it out.  It is held at the Del Mar Racetrack which is off the I-5 in North San Diego.  About a 2 hour drive from Los Angeles.
