A few places

Today was another round of sightseeing.

First stop was Balboa Park - A Landscape of Art and Culture.

Reuben H. Fleet Science Center

Natural History Museum

Scribblings on the ground

Botanical Building

Spreckels Organ Pavilion

There was supposedly a huge pipe organ behind the shutters. But we were there too early to be able to catch even the afternoon performances.


Onboard the tram

Starbucks Coffee - catering

Museum of Man

A rubbish bin!

Artists along the Cabrillo Bridge

The Old Globe


Here's how the construction look like

Shakespeare



Alcazar Garden



Mingei International Museum

A crocodile outside the Mingei museum

We explored around and walked down a path...

...where it was rather forested


People were practising Chinese kungfu

We then walked to the House of Pacific Relations which is made up of little cottages, each containing cultures of different countries.

The United Nations Building

House of Argentina was the star of the day, there was traditional Argentinian food for sale



Spinach Empanadas

House of the United States

House of Sweden

This old couple were holding hands while waiting for a show



In the House of UK there was a picture of John Travolta dancing with Princess Diana, dated 1985

In the House of Finland, obviously. They should just change the models of the phones already!

A traditional Polish candy


A wedding going on

We went back to the car and off we went to our next stop, Old Town.

A marketplace

Some street show going on

Old Town trolley, relying on propane fuel

Inside a church


A Beetle with very cute lights



Next stop: Little Italy.



DIP? I later found out that it meant there was a dip in the road terrain. I didn't know what it stood for when I first saw it haha

Little Italy Market




There were recipes on the ground!


Next stop: Mission Beach.



Guess the name of this sculpture

Did you get it right?

A coconut tree made out of surfboards





So many boats, so many rich people

San Diego International Airport was just a stone's throw away

Dinner (or supper!) - KFC


They've got grilled chicken, so healthy

And the crispy chicken which wasn't spicy

That's it for today!
