San Diego Day 2 & 3
Ok, so I lied. We didn't go wine touring yesterday. We planned to, but it was so gorgeous we ended up lying by the pool and going for a hike instead. Though I had slathered myself with sunscreen and lectured everyone else to do the same, I fried like a tourist. It seems I missed a few patches and am now sporting some bright red stripes down my arms, neck and the bridge of my nose. Lovely.
Today, after a pit stop at The Container Store, we toured the San Diego Zoo. This zoo is quite impressive, which probably explains why it was jammed with tourists on a Wednesday.
When we had tired of watching exotic animals sleeping, we headed over to Old Town (tourist central!) for dinner. I was disappointed to see the area lined with tacky souvenir shops and cheesy looking restaurants akin to Taco Bell. We were looking for some authentic Mexican food that consisted of more than chips and salsa in a basket lined with wax paper and a side of pork and beans. We happened upon El Agave, a cute little spot 10 minutes from Old Town with tequila bottles everywhere as decoration. The food was unique and prepared fresh - a far cry from the tex mex we often encounter at home.
Tomorrow is shaping up to be another day of lying by the pool and possibly a road trip to the beach.
