The Albatross
Saturday 27 April 2024
Our first day in town, so we thought we’d head out to the headland the protects the bay and city. It was a stunning morning, with a beautiful sea breeze blowing, and great views of the massive naval base and city (San Diego is home to the Pacific fleet). They must of all been busy out ensuring democracy because no one was home which was a bummer. However, we enjoyed being by the ocean again as it’s the first time since Vancouver. The pelicans were cruising around the steep shoreline and we found a quiet spot to just chill for a while.
Tuna spotted that there was an acoustic music festival in the main street half a block from our house, so we thought we’d give that a go, being the young bustling trend setters that we are. There was a venue that looked good a few blocks up, where we waited to be seated for 5 minutes, no one acknowledged our existence so we wandered in. A lady was cleaning a table and I asked if it was free and was granted access, a waitress came up and asked if we were ready to order, but we had only just downloaded the menu. She then didn’t reappear for 15 minutes, so we happily ordered away. She then came back and asked if we’d been seated as there was a wait list (we were the only ones at the door when we arrived?). So, we left as opposed to argue, we tried a local brewery down the road, however it was super loud and stiflingly warm. I’d had enough of being deafened. So, we wandered on. Success, a fantastic Mexican place that whilst pumping was relatively quiet and had great food and delicious margaritas. Happiness and full bellies ensued.
