Lovely La Jolla

La Jolla, San Diego

Lovely La Jolla, what more is there to say.  This place which is just a 12 minute drive for me going south, or a 20 minute drive from downtown San Diego is spectacular.  The scenery is amazing, and the wildlife is abundant.

Most of the time, the seals like to laze on the beach, and don’t move much at all, but all of a sudden, a few of them got up to take a dip in the ocean!

Look at this one! Doesn’t it look like a cross between a sea lion, and a tortoise?

We walked away from the ocean onto Prospect Street, and Chandra got to play with a massive globe that was a water-fountain feature.  Oh, she rolled and rolled the globe around.  She was enchanted!

Afterwards, we went for a treat to the Living Room, a really wonderful coffee house, that has wonderful pastries, and sandwiches.  I got Chandra two macaroons, which she devoured before I got to take photos of them, and I also did the same with my pistachio baklava.  Chandra then eyed my coconut mocha, and oh my gosh, it was delicious – it was made with low fat milk, and extra hot.  I left a tiny bit of it for Chandi to try, as she really should not be drinking coffee at her tender age of 7!  She loved it, well….it was delicious!

Then she got some gelato from a place called Gelateria, across from the Living Room, and again, I didn’t take pictures – but this was Chandi’s treat as mine was the coconut mocha.  Then, it was time for a few more pictures.

I hope you liked my pictures of La Jolla.  It really is a nice place to visit.  I really enjoy it there, and I think I would like to say it is one of my favorites in San Diego.
