Too much of a good thing?

San Diego, California, USA

Maybe we overdid it.

Yesterday we had a very full day, trying to make the most of our short stay in town.  We bought a couple of day passes for the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System, a very well thought out system of buses and trolley cars that blanket the area - these are such a good deal that I am not sure why we did not use them more on our previous visits here ($5.00 for unlimited travel).

We visited some of the areas that we had missed on previous visits, notably Old Town (area of restored buildings with restaurants and shops) and the Gaslamp Quarter just a few blocks from our hotel (probably the most dense concentration of restaurants and clubs that we have ever seen).  We indulged a bit with some fine dining and even took in a big league baseball game at Petco park - San Diego Padres (dead last in the conference standings) vs the Los Angeles Dodgers (next to last in the conference standings).  Along with about 22,000 other fans, we watched San Diego lose yet another game.  The crowd was nonetheless very supportive.

In addition we managed to make our way to the Shelter Island area where we got a few boat related items from the Downwind Marine and West Marine stores, and I finally got a much needed haircut.

This morning we were scheduled to leave for the long arduous journey back to Santa Rosalia but Susanne is not well - just a bit of over-indulgence perhaps.  So we have booked another night in hopes that she will get over this - I can't imagine a 16 hour bus trip when you are not feeling your best.  We have to change hotels as this one seems to have gotten a bit greedy and wants to charge us a huge premium for another night.  With any luck we will be on our way tomorrow.
