Just a quick note to say San Diego is a great place to visit - and I'd actually consider living here. If you do come here, make sure you visit La Jolla ('The Jewel' in Spanish) as Liz mentioned, and the brilliant San Diego Zoo, where we saw lions and tigers and bears... oh my! Also, elephants, rhinos, hippos and all sorts of monkeys...
The Gaslamp Quarter has good nightlife while not being too scuzzy - despite the amount of college girls arguing unable to 'hold their liquor'. Check out Sammy's Woodfired Pizzas if you're in town.
We also looked around the old mission settlement in San Diego's Old Town, seeing for ourselves how such a big city had such humble beginnings. There's also a few Mexican restaurants where you can eat way too much rather quickly.
And it was good to see the mighty Gunners stumble past Roma to get to the next round, as well as enjoy an English breakfast in a pub called The Shakespeare - where you can eat 'proper' bacon and Liz enjoyed a 'proper' cup of tea!
Anyway, we may have no internet access for the next week or so as we're off to Texas, where hostels apparently don't exist! But they do have horses, which apparently I must learn to ride! See you in 8 days!!!

Hi Aaroni and Liz
ReplyDeleteI've just read the whole blog. Drew's been keeping up to date but I'm a bit of a dinosaur when it come's to Computers and stuff! :)
We are all really quite jealous but are so glad you're having a good time.
Tara thought that cell in Alcatraz was your room. Thankfully it wasn't!
We need more photos on here please.
Who are the people you've met? Did you know them before you went or have they just become your friends?
Take care. Love you.
Auntie Den, Tara and Drew xxxxxx
Hi Denise, Drew and Tara
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately my camera phone isn't allowing us to put photos up at the moment, but I will remedy that when I get the chance.
The Alcatraz cell was not unlike our last hostel room!
The only people we've spent a lot of time with are friends from back home who live over here - they've all been very welcoming and shown us a good time too...
Thanks for reading our adventures!
Hope you're all well...
Aaron and Liz
