san diego

after a couple of nights in vegas we headed west to what would be our final state on the trip, california. initially the plan was to spend around 5 days in LA and maybe just go to san diego for a day trip, but instead we decided to head straight to san diego and stay the night there. my friend V, is always going on about how nice it is and i also spoke to someone in a bar in memphis and they were from SD and said it was a great place as well.




we got there around 5PM and because we made the plan at the last minute, we had no idea where to stay. my friend was driving and just picked somewhere from the GPS. unfortunately it looked like it was quite far from the beach and when i suggested we head in further into town my friend got a little moody. it had been about 3 hours since his last meal so it was to be expected for him to be like that. we switched drivers and i took the wheel and we and headed further into town and found a decent hotel in the old town which was just a 10 minute drive to the beach.

we then headed down to mission beach because V had told me that cranes was a good place to for a drink and to get something to eat. she was not wrong. the place was wicked and it was right on the ocean front. there isn't even a road between you and the sand and sea. just a footpath and then beach.



after dinner we headed down along the footpath walking towards pacific beach. we also decided that we would stay in san diego the following day as well and then head to LA the day after, maybe....
