Its lucky we are to have kids that turn their apartment over to us in scenic La Jolla Village for two weeks while they vacation. There is no problem having fun here: the ocean, weather, food, interesting locals, flowers--what more could a person ask for. When friends back home tell you snow is in the forecast, this is the place to be.

We are nomads living out of suitcases trying to keep things organized. I have a tendency to misplace items. It would help if I traveled with a suit case that had no zipper pockets, yet I fear not having enough room to pack all I need thus the necessity of pockets. I have no solution for the problem since I refuse to travel with less. I am already down to the bare bones.

| The apartment is in a fun downtown section. Above the red awning is the window looking onto the street. |
We can hear the people laughing and talking as they walk down the street. Things come alive about 6:00 as they look for places to shop and have dinner. It is warm enough to open the windows and enjoy a nice breeze off the ocean as well as the sounds of street life.
With no agenda. We have stayed in La Jolla today walking and exploring. There is much to see and blocks to hike. A favorite walk is always along the beach to check out the surfers and the seals. Tomorrow I think the farmer's market in Little Italy is on our to do list After that well, we just have to see.
I am fascinated by the amount of shopping taking place here. High end shops call this part of La Jolla home and have faithful consumers. I wander into the shops to browse and immediately am asked if I need something special. Oh ya--right. Next question--are you from here? Why are they asking--Do I stand out like a sore thumb? I am wearing a necklace, earrings and a Jones of New York shirt. My Jeans are almost skinny. What is the give away--my payless shoes? That must be it. Tomorrow I will wear my Sketchers.
