Vacation Day 2 – Exploring downtown
We got kind of a late start on Sunday. We were going to try to keep a Central Time schedule so that we’d be waking up early and getting a lot accomplished during the day, but we ended up being so worn out we accidentally slept in.
Here’s a view from the hotel room Sunday morning:
We had breakfast at Hob Nob Hill, a place I always sent guests to when I worked at the Holiday Inn, but I had never eaten there. So we ate there. Then we took a walk around downtown.
This is a shot of the Star of India, the oldest seaworthy ship in … some region. I don’t remember if it’s “The Pacific” or “The United States” or “The World” or “San Diego.” But it’s big and old.
Just past the Star of India was this cool pair of street musicians.
When Danny the singer / keyboardist stopped playing the previous song, Rosie his sidekick kept playing her metallic maracas. He shouted out “Rosie – stop playing! The song’s over!” She replied, “Sorry Danny, I guess I just get carried away!”
Down by arena park, there were some people flying kites. Nothing witty or insightful to say here.
Then over by the convention center, we stopped to sit by a fountain. This duck responded to my request and stopped to pose for a picture in front of the fountain.
A bunch of pigeons decided they liked Sara.
Then we went to Horton Plaza where Sara shopped for some new work clothes for her new job and we ate at Sarku Japan, also known as “Yummy yummy chicken!”
