San Diego and Laguna Beach

If you can't be arsed reading this instalment of the blog, simply check out this clip for all you need to know about San Diego. And here's a clip about Laguna Beach, in case you want info.

If you're still with me, prepare to be ENTHRALLED.

My friends (still on their holiday) and I drove painfully in the Chrysler down the coast to San Diego, stopping in a cute beach town called Laguna Beach. Gorgeous beaches, gorgeous houses and the only place I've ever been to where, in a Starbucks, Hannah heard a customer asked for her latte to be heated to exactly 180 degrees. On reflection, isn't that like, the temperature of molten lava?

Here's the beautiful beach:

We carried on down the coast, fighting over the music choices in the car en route. Mine were clearly the best but I was temporarily overruled and almost had a massive tantrum.

San Diego is pretty cute. It's quite small, but there is a lot going on in a place called the Gaslamp District; bars, restaurants and a generally laid-back vibe. We stopped for a Happy Hour martini (it was basically pure gin) at the House of Blues and then ate amazing Mexican food, as you can see from the mouth-watering pictures:

We then had a little walk around and grabbed an ice cream before heading back to our hotel for a snooze. Rock and roll or what!?

  4. The Starbucks thing totally reminded me of my Dad in Vancouver... He ordered his drink and asked for it extra hot, so the ass taking the order said, what degree do you want it to (he was being completely serious in that snobbby oooh-I-work-at-Starbucks-in-Vancouver way) so my Dad told him 130 degrees or some nonsense and the guy told him no, that was a liability issue.

    And PS Izzy, now every time I write something, I look back over it and go 'shit is that a run on sentence/correct grammar/correct usage of a word?' Thanks. Thanks a lot. :)

  5. Good Jenn that's the way it should be! The punctuation, not the coffee :)
