San Diego - Day 1

I left monsoon weather DC early Saturday morning and arrived San Diego around 2PM local time. The weather was absolute perfection! High 60's, blue skies, with a gentle breeze. Amy picked me up from the airport and we set off to her apartment where she spent the last three years of law school. Along the way, my breath was taken away by San Diego's amazing tropical palms, trees, and other plants. My favorite would have to be the passionate purple Jacaranda .

We walked around the San Diego Harbor in the afternoon and had a late lunch while we watched sailboats on the Bay. My first vacation meal was definitely an unhealthy one as we had chips and salsa, fried calamari, fried fish, and fried onion rings. Here is a picture of Amy's boyfriend, Tommy, with the biggest onion rings I've ever seen. I felt my arteries clog as we dined.

We had a very relaxed evening at home with a big salad and fruit cocktail, as if that would make up for the earlier grease intake.

I am so happy to be here! We're planning to do a lot of water activities, I cannot wait!
