Continuation…

We got off of the trolley for a stop in Old Town and since it was lunchtime, we checked out a few of the places to eat along the way.  This particular one caught our eye. The ladies making the tortillas was the part that really drew us in to eat!101103

This is a 100+ year old prickly pear cactus! It was huge and the stems were now woody because it was so old.112More interesting sights…116113115

Another Day in S. CA

We started the day by taking a trolley tour of the city.  We got an overview of San Diego and were able to get off and on and we had some great guides.

Sunny California

Recently we went to the San Diego area for a few days of R&R but for us we seem to stay on the go a lot!

We landed and quickly found something to eat in Old Town…064

The enchiladas and tamales were delicious as well as the rolled tacos that we had for an appetizer, but ate them before we thought about a picture!

There were strolling mariachi players who added to the ambiance of the restaurant.066069

We walked around some and decided that we would come back another day so we could take a walking tour of the area that is known as the “birthplace of California”.070

We were able to check into our condo that was to be our home away from home. A great view from the balcony…071072

Tornado Damage

Here are some pictures that we took of the damage and destruction of the 5 tornadoes that came through our county on Wednesday. A total of 9 people were killed, including a 3 month old. Such devastation. Please pray for all of those people who are effected as well as those who are helping out.

We now have power but the telephone and Internet are sporadic...sorry it's taken so long to get this post up. This was a 2-story house!
