To warm up from the freezing cold up in Illinois, I was looking for a warm Christmas destination to warm up. Finally, I was able to find an affordable holiday ticket to sunny San Diego with a stop-over in Phoenix Arizona. San Diego is perhaps one of the most charming American cities I’ve visited, with the gorgeous ocean, lots of national parks, museums, few amusement parks, a Mexican vibe with Tijuana just across the border, and temperatures of around 18c mid-winter, it just seems like a wonderful place to live.
Before I share some of the specific places I visited in San Diego, first here are some ‘visions’ snapshots of my adventures around town…
The sea and beaches
Grand panoramic views from above…
Harbours and marina life…
Balboa Park with top-notch museums and gardens…
And a desert touch…
What a wonderful city. The perfect US warm-up excursion for the cold Christmas days.
