destination unknown friday

it's been a while since i posted one of these, partly because i have been away, and partly because i'm just plain lazy. but i am also excited about the new digs! so much excited, in fact, i have decided to resurrect "destination unknown friday" with my hometown;
San Diego





for a long time, i was bored of san diego. i had lived here since my family relocated here from the east coast in 1979, and i felt my time in southern california had run it's course, despite living in san francisco for 8 years. but just before leaving for army training, it started to really get fun.










i don't know if it has to do with getting older, and the accompanying gradual disgust of the late-night bar scene, but getting up early on a weekend and hitting the trails of the open-space parks.










or better yet, an urban hike to the bay....













and of course, you won't find a better spot for good mexican food...even in tijuana 20 miles to the south!











walking to the grocery store, local shops, or just around the neighborhood with La Taureau and La Cognilia.


home sweet home, indeed......!
