San Diego, like many cities is divided into various regions. We were staying with Gabriela at a house that she was house sitting in Mission Hills. A short walk from there is an area known as Old Town. There are many shops set to look like the old west. We actually walked into a tobacco shop that was very aromatic and which there were many old style pipes on display. The man working behind the desk was smoking a cigar dressed in the style of an old west bartender...very cute. We basically walked around absorbing the scene. We were told that there would be bonfires down there but we could not find them and the cigar guy didn't know anything about them :) There is an area of shops called Fiesta de Reyes which was an enjoyable area to people watch. Wilson had a couple of tacos from a stand which were quite delicious.

Torrey Pines State Park is one of the places that Gabriela likes to go. We decided since it was such a nice day that we should go to the park, where we could hike and enjoy the beach. Matthew (american spelling), a friend of Gabriela's from France, is here now visiting and he joined us on the hike....prior to hiking we went to The Holiday H.S. Basketball Tournament sponsored by Under Armour at Torrey Pines H.S. (fancy, fancy). The tournament is by invitation only and incorporated national teams from Ohio & Maryland. The play was very good and it was actually pretty enjoyable even if we didn't know anyone. Lucky for us we sat behind the ass who is constantly calling the refs out on their missed calls and beside a parent for the visiting team who throughout the game was Whoooo Hoooo in a very high pitched tone....of course I attempted to mimic multiple times :)
Torrey Pines S.P. - even squirrels like a day at the beach :)
Did Wilson agree or disagree with the boor who called out the refs?
