As you can see, we’ve been pretty busy out and about in San Diego, one of our favorite cities. So busy that I haven’t had much time to record our activities. The weather is supposed to turn cooler and cloudier tomorrow for a few days so we have been trying to get as much time in the sun as we can. We can do bookwork and laundry when it is cool and cloudy.
We headed up to La Jolla for the Organic Farmer’s Market and the La Jolla Beach. This is just a great place to people watch, pick up some organic vegetables, find some fresh ciabattas and have a scone. Oops, nix the scone. Seems that the two women with the scone bakery have been replaced by a bigger operation. But I found an 8 lb bag of navel oranges for $4.00, a 6-pack of fresh pitas for $3.00, a huge cauliflower for $2.00. Luckily, I brought Gary to carry it all back to the car. Isn’t that what husbands are for?
Then off to the La Jolla Historical Society museum where they had a special exhibit on WWII in La Jolla. One of the rooms was a black-out room with heavy felt curtains over the windows, a civil defense measure during the war. Flashlights were provided so we could come close to experiencing living during the war on the coast where there was fear of a Japanese attack.
They had some cookbooks from the war years which had recipes that I grew up on. It was designed to show recipes you could make that utilized your food coupons efficiently: lots of chicken and lots of noodles.
A nice smaller museum with a neat display that we might have missed had we not been told about it by 2 women at the market.
Off to the beach to walk the coastline.
We can’t get enough of the ocean on a sunny day. Though we also like it on a cloudy day. What’s not to like about the ocean? Since it was such a beautiful day, everyone was out cruising the beach walk. There were even some Girl Scouts selling their cookies.
We also stopped for a light lunch at a local cafe with a view over the cliffs.
Farmer’s market, coast walking, a small museum with a WWII display, sun, ocean, people and - GIRL SCOUT COOKIES.
What more could we want?
