San Diego Photo Journal: Balboa Park

I had a lot of time to myself on this trip, which was nice because it's rare that I get to travel, let alone travel and do only exactly what I want. On an unexpectedly sunny afternoon in San Diego (it was predicted to rain all week - "It's never like this here," I heard from every person I met), I took a stroll through Balboa Park, which was quite lovely. Skipped the zoo (some things really do require more than one person for total enjoyment - bars, restaurants, board games, and zoos - especially at nearly $40 admission), but saw a whole bunch else. My favorite was the colorful yet quaint, summery yet holiday-bedecked Spanish Village Art Center. I just hope the pandas didn't miss me too much.
