Sunset Cliffs

This past Saturday I ventured down to Ocean Beach aka "O.B.". Ocean Beach is known as the area where all the San Diego hippies live. I had yet to see a San Diego hippie, so I was curious.

I didn't have a direct map to get there, I just had a general map that said it was north of Point Loma (where I found the Real World house ). I drove to Point Loma and just kind of figured it out from there. At one point, I was driving through a neighborhood and drove up a hill thinking it was the general direction of the ocean. Sure enough over the crest of the hill, was the ocean. At the bottom of the hill was a small park like area called Sunset Cliffs. Too bad I was a bit early for Sunset. Here are some pics.

The view from the hill.

I am fascinated by surfers

Stay tuned for the post of my Ocean Beach visit....

San Diego On The Water... part deux of deux

Here are some pics of a cool statue and the area next to the USS Midway. I had lunch at a seafood place around here. It had a dining patio literally over the water.

San Diego On The Water

After Harbor Island I went into downtown San Diego. Along the water was this here little boat, also known as the USS Midway.

Harbor Island

After Point Loma, I made a quick detour to Harbor Island. It's really not much of an island, but it has some nice views of downtown.











Check back tomorrow for more San Diego on the water pics. I'll have pics of an aircraft carrier.

Point Loma

I finally went on a new San Diego adventure this weekend. I decided to venture out to find the Real World San Diego House after a blog comment by Carsen. It took me at least an hour to find it once I got to the neighborhood. Its really hidden and you can only access the side and rear of the house. I walked 50 yds down an alley and decided it wasn't down it because it looked like a fish processing warehouse strip, but later found it another 50 yds down that alley.




The best picture I could get. The RW paint was a brighter blue with a yellowish door. Not quite the same as it's Boom- Bazooka Joe days.


next door in the same alley. This ended up being some sort of mostly abandoned store fronts.


The view from the docks.


Zoomed in from across the harbor

Other pics of Point Loma. I hope you wnat to see boat pics
















I will post more pics later this week of another section of the city that I visited. That way I have more frequent blog posts.

Bad Blogger :(

I'm a little slow on posting lately, sorry.

First and foremost, I must say:

YAY STEELERS!



One of my coworkers had a Superbowl party at his house that I attended. It was fun. I of course, was the only Steeler fan there. I took the same custom iced "Go Steelers" brownies that I posted pictures of after the Charger game. The Ravens Fan coworker was there and now routing for the Cardinals out of bitterness for losing to me on the last playoff game. He rearranged the brownies to say "To Loser" and I bet him that the losing team had to eat those brownies. When the Steelers won, I made him eat his words, literally. Not so bad for him though, they were pretty good brownies. Special thanks to Aiton, Hilly, Carsen and Yuki for my awesome pre-Super Bowl Steeler Package! I got an awesome new Steeler Hoodie, Tee, Stickers, Temporary Tattoos, and last but not least, badass Polamalu jersey earrings!

It's been raining for the past two weekends in a row, which is rare for So Cal. I went to LA Sunday and Monday of President's Day weekend. Sunday was chilly, but mostly sunny and I forgot to take out my camera. But I didn't go anywhere new anyway. Monday was all rain. I mostly went shopping, LA is good for that!

Also, special thanks to my fairy godmother Joanne for my awesome V-day package! Much like my Steeler package, the contents were quickly put to use before I took my camera out, whoops. Yay Candy and Goodies! Thanks Joanne!

I don't have much for new pics...So here are some ones I took of Carlsbad Beach 3 weeks ago! I miss everyone!!!! Hugs :)
