Like being in my 20's again

We left SLO on tuesday morning and after a smooth drive (except for the three hours we were stuck in LA traffic), we arrived in San Diego on Tuesday evening for the first "Couch Surfing" leg of our trip.  We're staying with Josh, a friend/former co-worker of Joey's (picture of our digs at right) in Ocean Beach.  It's been a fun couple of days.  Josh and most his friends (most of them Cincinnati transplants) work in the service industry which leaves time for "weekends" in the middle of the week.  Late nights, and days spent enjoying the weather.

Once we arrived and got settled we hung out at Josh's place until about 12:30 and then walked around the corner to Cat Lounge for a few games of pool before last call.  On wednesday morning, josh took us to an awesome diner on Newport st, where I had Machaca - kind of a do it yourself breakfast burrito.  A scramble of shredded beef, peppers, onion and jalapeño served with beans and a warm tortilla.  After that we walked out on onto the pier at ocean beach and watched the surfers before heading to point Loma  lighthouse for a 360 view of the city.

Joey and I spent the afternoon hanging out at the house with Josh's roommate John and Rufus - Ryan's very  Huckleberry (my dog) like rot/lab mix playing chess and drinking Pacificos.  We walked down to Newport street around 6 to check out the farmers market and have some fish tacos (by far the best i've had) from South Beach Bar and grill.

Last night we went to Tiny's and then Lucy's - both just a few blocks from Josh's house and then hung out at his place until the sun came up. Today Josh, Ryan, and Lori (the neighbor) are going to take us around town and out to lunch before we head on to Vegas where we'll be checking into the New York, New York hotel tonight.
