Monday
After the last few days where it has been non stop with the 4th of July, Vegas and Tijuana Jane and I decided to have a rest day. Romeo went to work so we both got up, packed our bags (tomorrow we leave for San Fran) and then headed down to Pacific beach to do a bit of shopping and have some lunch.
They have a Ripcurl shop there and all the t-shirts were $20 which is damn cheap. Instead of buying more Ripcurl shirts we decided to head to a few of they touristy shops and get a San Diego top then head back top Juliet’s place. On the way we stopped off at The Australian Pub which is pretty poo.
The evening was one of the best I’ve had since we got here. We headed to The Tilted Kilt which I think was meant to be an Irish bar with scantily clad beer wenches serving our ales. From there it was fish tacos and a another couple of beers before we went into Petco Park to see the not so mighty San Diego Padres take on the Florida Marlins in the baseball. The game itself I have never really gotten into but since I’ve been over here it’s the only sport on TV so you find yourself watching it whenever you get a chance. For the record the Marlins won 3-1.
During the 8th innings we headed up to the roof top bar at the Marriot (on the 22nd floor I think) where we watched the rest of the game and continued to knock back a few more quiet beers.
The low point of the trip came in the taxi on the way home when John ‘Romeo’ Girvan stole my wallet (either that or I lost it). Now comes the fun part where I have to cancel all my credit cards (which also cancels Janes!!!) and get a new one sent out urgently.Tomorrow we fly to San Fran. Girv you’ve been an awesome host and Juliet and Sara thanks for everything as well. Loved San Diego!!
