San Diego

Felíz Navidad

/ fearsomebeard / 4 Comments

Living just some 12 miles from the San Diego / Tijuana border, as we have for the past 30+ years, Mariachis are part of our culture. I adore living so close to Mexico. I love the people, the beauty and the culture. On a clear day we can see the mountains across the border and the Los Coronado Islands out off the Mexican coast, as well as the shimmering lights of Tijuana at night from our house.
Old Town San Diego, which was at one time the seat of the governor of this part of Mexico before this area became part of the United States, is a short half mile walk down the hill from our home. Old Town is one of the most visited state parks in California and is filled with Mexican food, culture and of corse Mariachis.
Therefore Fearsome has asked me to post this video to wish you a Merry Christmas filled with the rich culture of where we live and what we love.

A little getaway

It only lasted an hour but I needed it. Gladys was resting well and  didn’t have any work I absolutely had to this afternoon so the husband and I drove over to the beach and sat on the seawall for a bit. Sunny and 67 degrees F, it was beautiful.

May you find beauty in your day as well.

Calm before the storm

The soundtrack of my life often provides comfort and solace to me reviving memories of my youth and the simplicity of bygone times. This morning one of those tracks popped into my mind as I moved the patio furniture into a secure location.

This tune seems appropriate today for my beautiful San Diego.
