Travel in San Diego is fun as the city has much to offer to every kid of a traveler. I traveled solo and had some very interesting experiences. Read on to know more about my
San Diego travel stories :)
----------
'You must be a Mexican!'
'No?????"
'Wait a second...you are most certainly a Lebanese'
'What? You are not a Christian? That's impossible man, you can't possibly a Hindu!'
I smiled and did my best to convince my drunk Mexican tram-mate about India and how Hindus do exist. He was still shaking his head when I got off at Balboa Park and walked into some welcoming cacti.

City Downtown

I was completely on my own after spending my first day with James, and evening with his numerous friends at a party. Even as he was completely hungover the next morning, I decided to explore the city on my own. The day wasn't as sunny as I expected and I ended up taking up very pictures, and eating some very satisfying meals, especially the fish tacos and the tortias.
But I missed out on doing what I really wanted to do in San Diego - get into water. The water was just too cold, and I somehow didn't think I would look respectable flapping around in a wet suit just on the edge of the sea. Nonetheless I had a fantastic time, especially on day one. I helped James (my couch-surfing host) with a little bit of farming (wink wink), drove around some of the most beautiful areas in the city, ate and drank with his friends, played some backyard games and also got sloshed.
However, I am still waiting for my sea water dip!

Hello Wanderer! Beautiful Pictures I must say! :D :D Especially the first one - Downtown and that woman dressed as Mexican - She is very ethnically beautiful. :D :D
ReplyDeleteHey, thanks! The women in San Diego are certainly incredibly beautiful :)
DeleteSan Diego is SO beautiful! I'm moving to Pheonix in the fall and this is like the closest coast.. so, I see myself being here so often!

ReplyDeleteHmm... I can only guess what kind of plant James is growing :-)
Haha...you are smart one Dominic, you got that one absolutely right :)
DeleteMy favorite of this group was the girl dressed up. How do you have so much money to go travelling everywhere? I want to know so I can do whatever it is that you're doing.
ReplyDeleteI actually have no money as I am back to being a student again, I actually do very cheap trips with the money saved from my stipend and try and stay with friends in different cities :)
DeleteNice work Sid! I love San diego - My home town is just outside of LA, in the Ventura COunty. Lovely shots!
ReplyDeleteThat's cool! And you live in Italy...you have the perfect life Adam :)
DeleteI love the disbelief of that guy...you can't possibly be a Hindu, not a Christian! Brilliant! Also shows you that more people that we think haven't seent the world!
ReplyDeleteHaha...you are right about that!
DeleteYou're gonna love this clip filmed in India... it's absolutely amazing

ReplyDeleteI haven't been to San Diego yet but with its close proximity to Mexico I'd love to go.
ReplyDeleteYou live in Mexico! Cool...I really wanted to go there...its just on the border close by from San Diego. I am quite sure you would love San Diego...esp if you have friends there!
DeleteExcelente reportaje, son muy buenas tus fotografías.
ReplyDeleteSaludos
Thanks Angel :)
Deleteinteresting photo feature...
ReplyDeleteGreat that you liked them Vineeta :)
Deletehey gr8 pics! i love the little Mexican girl pic & the woman & the restaurant pic..
ReplyDeleteThanks Roshni :) I am glad you liked some of them :)
DeleteHey! You added a few more photos here. I swear. The provocative graffiti wasn't there before and neither was the food nor the friend merging with the rocks (which I absolutely love).
ReplyDeleteI guess the more people you know in the world, the better, then, hey? I have a spare room. Let me know when you're Alberta bound.
Hey Jules, you are right I did a few more pictures...I am glad you noticed :) But I am even more glad for the invitation to stay over at your place, I somehow know that we'll hit it off really well...so maybe someday we shall meet :)
DeleteThanks Shanky!
ReplyDeleteNice pictures, Siddharth. The first one is a really pretty pic.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get to go to San Diego again. I look forward to hearing more about it here.
Thanks D :)
DeleteBrought back memories of my SD visit nearly 10 years ago! I remember the famous Fish Tacos too..nice post!
