Ahhh .. San Diego

[Whateverist]

So I spent Veteran's Day weekend there. Lia was at another convention and I flew down on her frequent flyer miles to help her set up an exhibition. Ahh San Diego, sweet little town.

I spent the bulk of my childhood there. Eternally warm and fair with loads of natural beauty .. as well as loads of exotic plants for those into that. Imagine my surprise when, half way through middle school, we moved to just outside Washington D.C. It really enlarged my vocabulary. I added "humidity" and "lightning bug" in the summer. Discovered the meaning of "cold", "snow" and "heavy jacket" in the winter.

Any who, here are snaps from around the town. I spent Saturday wondering around Balboa park after getting Lia settled.







Sunday I looked up an old flickr buddy and fellow garden extremist. He took me around to some of his favorite garden spots and nurseries after we had coffee in his garden. (Next time we'll definitely stay in his guest room.)









Sunday evening I took Mrs Whateverist to my favorite San Diego restaurant, the Prado in Balboa park. I think she still looks pretty damn good at 70, the yellow lighting makes everyone look jaundiced.





I forget. Does anyone here live in the San Diego area?
