Kyle and I are officially in Mexico. We had a great few days in San Diego. The weather is much
warmer here in Ensenada and the sun feels much stronger. I don't have many pictures from Ensenada yet only a few of the school so I will post pictures from our trips in San Diego. We got around very well using the buses (I was proud of us). Day 1 when we arrived we went to Balboa park and then down to the gaslamp district for dinner at the Yard House, I couldn't believe how many beers they had on tap.
Day 2 we went to the San Diego zoo. We were there by 9:30 and stayed 
until at least 6! We had a blast and didn't want to miss anything so we stayed until our feet ached. That night we went to whole foods for dinner, what a selection! We couldn't decide on what to eat.
Day 3 Kyle and I met up with his friends Jeff and Cayley from Utah (Cayley is originally from San Diego, Encinitas). We went to Swamis for lunch...mmmmm all natural food plently of vegetarian selections. Then we went shopping and thrift stores, used book stores etc. Eventually we went to the beach despite the cloudy weather. For dinner we went to Sushi Deli, which I highly recommend for anyone in the San Diego area. It was in the Gaslamp district and was delicious! They gave you way more food than you could possibly eat and for less than 10 dollars! They had delicious drinks too made with Sake or Sojo.
Day 4 Ismael came to get us and we crossed the border. It only took about 5 mins, apparently there's hardly any wait to get into Mexico, they didn't even check our passports! However to get into the US from Mexico...it was at least an hour and half wait, with high security. We have a nice house just to the left of where we thought we were living. There was nothing in the house to start but Kyle and I have already started to turn it into a home. It is three bedroom, no beds in the other rooms yet but plenty of room for visitors. We are thinking of buying an air mattress.
Hey Jess! I love the blog, I will definitely try to keep up with it. I talked to Kyle and he said you guys had a great time in San Diego. I hope to be able to make it out there to see you at some point. And whenever you guys come to Houston I'll take you to Taps. It's a bar with something like 100 beers on tap and we always have fun when we go. Good luck starting the new job, I know you guys will do great!
ReplyDeleteJess, this is fantastic. I did not know you were going to do a blog. You know I will be an avid follower. When I talked to Kyle tonight, he said things were going really well. I am truly happy for you both.
