Hanging in Old Town San Diego


Old Town San Diego is an interesting place. On one-hand, it tells the story of San Diego with original and reconstructed buildings of what San Diego was in the old days, on the other-hand it is a little tourist trap designed to get people to spend money. Put the two together and you have a wonderful time:

The pokey

Old Town San Diego was pretty cool and enjoyed visiting it. What made it really cool was enjoying a snack there:

  3. When I lived in Southern California I loved to go to Old Town in San Diego. There was a tea shop there that had an amazing hand blended mix that I loved. - Margy

    Your second photo is glorious! I have fond memories of Old Town San Diego, long ago and far away now, but still treasured.

  10. We used to have a Pioneer Village for many years that was a step back in time - this reminded me of the days of taking our kids there - great fun!

  12. I was just there for Cinco de Mayo! Such a fun time. I loved that the people were all dressed up too. I was trying to do a tasting like your last pic but there was a huge line and much too crowded. Great pics! Stopping by from the linkup :)

  14. Patrick,

    Old Town San Diego looks like an interesting place. I love all the photos. That outdoor oven is pretty cool. It makes me think of a pizza oven. Thanks for joining my not-so-Wordless Wednesday linky party and have a great day!

  28. Oh...now you've got me itching for a dose of my home state. I was California born and raised (2 hours north of San Diego), but 10 years ago moved to Texas. I still get back to CA once a year, but spend my time visiting family, so don't get to any of the old haunts that I miss so dearly. Thanks for the trip back in time for me!

  31. Quite interesting. I have never been there during my visits to San Diego. That city still a relatively mysterious place to me even though it is the second largest in California.
