Balboa Park began as 1400 acres of land set aside in 1868 by San Diego civic leaders. Known then as “City Park”, the scrub-filled mesa that overlooked present day Downtown San Diego sat without formal landscaping or development for more than 20 years. Today it is beautifully landscaped with several garden areas,ponds,museums and probably the most famous attraction ,the San Diego Zoo. Jack and I took the trolley downtown,then boarded the bus to the park. Jack is getting quite good at figuring out the transit system here. Inside the park is a free trolley that takes you around the center of the park, along with a narrative from the driver on the highlights. It was raining a bit so we appreciated the trolley ride. We opted out of the zoo since it was $43 per person....
Back to Imperial Beach and lunch at a little hole in the wall Mexican place with fantastic food. We couldnt finish it so we'll have leftovers for dinner.
