San Diego

I was in San Diego about a month back, but didn't get around to writing anything here. But for myself, and anyone else who goes i have to share the good and bad of my trip.

Good:

• the weather, always nice and pleasant


• the Gas Lamp district, and especially the Strip Club Steak Place. I had never really cooked a steak before, but this restaurant provides the steak, the seasonings, and you get to go to town on the grill. It was fun and delicious, not to mention the speciality martini menu (i personally like the Kahlua and Baileys, with powdered chocolate).



• La Jolla, beautiful little town. Had a blast sea kayaking there.



• Pacific Beach, another good town. Had a nice bar district on Garnet Ave., where i must mention Bub's Dive, which just happened to be the local Steelers and VA Tech bar for any fans out there. Also Pacific Beach had an awesome bar called the Lahaina Beach House right on the beach. Nothing like watching sunset while sipping pitchers of Blue Moon.



• the zoo is a great way to spend the day, but i recommend the bus ride to get a feel for where everything is and save yourself backtracking up and down the big hills.


• all in all, it is everything i imagined it to be

Bad:

• the parking, don't drive anywhere because even if the traffic is light there will be no parking when you get there.


• nothing else, this place rocks

Hopefully more of my friends will have to go here for work and i can visit them :-).
