Exploring La Jolla

I took the chance to go to downtown La Jolla yesterday. The level of affluence in the town area reflected that of the residential areas, with numerous posh, high-class stores and expensive dining restaurants. With some effort, I managed to find an affordable cafe, where I had the best panini in my life hands down. Adjacent to town was Children's Pool near La Jolla Cove, where harbour seals enjoyed the warm sunshine, slowly worm-dancing their way from one position to the next. Pelicans perched on top of eroded rock, and squirrels raced their way across the asphalt of the parking area. One of the little furry creatures actually brushed against my leg during its daring move...a pleasant surprise it was, since I hadn't ever seen a squirrel before.
Next up was the Museum of Contemporary Arts, one of the many museums of San Diego. The exhibits were amazingly graphic at times, profoundly original as well, and although I admit that I was confused rather than enlightened by many of them, it was a new experience for sure. Interesting is the one word that will describe it best.

That night, we had a party at I-House themed "Blinded by the Lights". Sunnies intact, it required skill at times to weave through the densely packed host apartment with limited wavelengths of light seen. A fun night it was. Word on the street is that next week's party is "Australia Day"...interesting.
