East met West

[font]My family (-1) just returned from a week's vacation in sunny southern California. We began our journey in San Diego. After visiting THE Zoo [i](hence the bad hair)[/i], we met [b]Gillian3[/b] and his lovely wife Jan at The Old Mexican Cafe for lunch.

We had a great authentic Mexican meal and then munched on jelly beans and avocado fudge while we took a walking tour of Old Town San Diego. We toured a museum housed in one of the original town homes dated back about 170 years. My photos of it didn't come out but you can go to [u][url]http://www.oldtownsandiego.org/[/url][/u] to get an idea of what I'm talking about.

The visit was too short but Gillian3 and Jan have an open invitation to visit beautiful New Hampshire as soon as their schedule allows. My family spent the rest of our time seeing sights around LA. But I liked the San Diego area much better.[/font]

Not long after a lightning quick coup which resulted in taking over Town Hall, the new Town dictatress scraps the Town budget and goes on a whirl wind tour of the finest eateries and visiting distinguished heads of states in the part of the country furthest away from her constituents....

Great pics. Sounds like a fun trip, but avacado fudge???????

I know...I thought the same thing. But it's very, very yummy. I wouldn't have guessed that there was avocado in it. G3 gave me some recipes. As soon as I unpack them, I'll see if the fudge is in there and post it.

Those Californians do like their avocados!

As I was reading your post, the thought occurred to me how the Forum has got several people together. Great pictures!

Gillian3

No way is that guy 65 years old, 45 max.

HRinNH

Absolutely x0:)

Well done on looking up the forum folks during your travels.

Great photos, Cheryl, Gillian3 and spouses!! Cheryl, you're the social butterfly. I think you should plan the next cruise!

When was the first one?

System

I don't know, Safety. They left me out of that one. I heard they had fun without me.

HRinNH

Thanks Sam!

Wow...I went from "Dictatress" to "Social Butterfly" in one day. A woman's work is never done. ;;)

Those are not necessarily 'mutually exclusive' titles ya know - which come to think of it would probably make you the perfect cruise dictatress - and it may be curiously comforting to have someone on board who has coup experience!

HRinNH

Ok, but a I didn't act alone. For such an important job I would have to summon my accomplices...Sam? Susan?

Leslie

That is very cool...nice pictures. Thank goodness G3 wasn't off on one of his Mexico jaunts!

Gillian3

Can't now. We're tied down due to mother care. She will be 100 next month.
