San Diego is a fun city with a variety of things to do. In a few days I managed to visit the Contemporary Art Museum and saw a very interesting beaded color field exhibit by Liza Lou, Gaslamp District, Little Italy, Old Town, and Balboa Park. I also stopped at Crate and Barrel outlet store and bought a 8 yards of Marimekko fabric.
I spent a day exploring Balboa Park and some of the museums and the IMAX theater.
This was the view I saw as I walked into the park.
The architecture was truly impressive. I spent half of the day looking up.
I got some nice photos of the lily pond and gigantic koi.
This huge sculpture of a dragon is located outside of the Mingei Museum. It's constructed with concrete and covered with tile and marbles. They allow visitors to climb on it. Quite surprising.
This is Spanish Village Arts Center. It has 30 or 40 talented artists with little studios throughout. It's a very charming area.
Another stop was Old Town. They are definitely getting ready for the Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebration on November 2nd.
There were plenty of skeletons everywhere I went. They are quite beautiful with very elaborate costumes.
These two had a whole story line and wedding in progress.
