Sunday morning was sunny and warm, not that I expected any less of San Diego. I threw on a tank top, jeans, flip flops and took off for a day of adventure.
By the way, does anyone remember the last time they slept till 11am? I don't! I woke up at 7:45, a long wait before Amy and Tom got up at 11. College life.
We walked around Balboa Park, the country's largest urban cultural park, and had an outdoor lunch. San Diego's flowers have such intense colors. My newly identified favorite is the Red Bougainvillea, which is a radiant red flower bush, usually found alongside walls. Here's a photo of my cheesy self with a patch of them. We also visited the Botanical Building and I took a gazillion photos of different species of orchids, which I will spare you from. This sudden love of plants is overwhelming! :)
The highlight of our day was our kayak and snorkel tour to the 7 caves of La Jolla. It was cloudy in the afternoon so we couldn't see very much underwater, just a lot of bright orange Garibaldi fish, still fun though! We did swim within feet of sea lions!
We had dinner in La Jolla with my friend, Jim, and had a few local beers. I fell asleep within two seconds of getting home.
