San Diego recap Day 5 (Final Day!)

On our last day in San Diego, I had to go to UCSD for some tests. I was taking part in a study for adult patients who had KD. After the study, we decided to go to Old Town San Diego for lunch and some sightseeing.



Oldest church in the US



Beautiful hand painted wooden bowls



Our boy loves anything musical, including a maraca! This came home with us and he loves playing it now!



Found me a cowboy....







Beautiful





A Peruvian in disguise...



We went wine tasting and the people actually bred Peruvian paso horses, so we chatted with them about that as well for a bit.




Red wine, sippy cup with apple juice, baby food and white wine...so different



Brrr....is what Santi says to wine tastings



Improvising with no changing table



Where we had lunch - Casa del Reyes - where if you're Latino or anything but white, they sit you in the back! Seriously, Tito overheard the manager talking to the hostess in Spanish who we were sitting right by, up front, near the entrance of the outdoor restaurant. The manager looked at Tito and said "This guy is Mexican, what is he doing sitting up here?" So Tito went up to the hostess and clarified that he was Peruvian and that I was American, and that he had understood what they were saying since he spoke Spanish. We then watched over the course of 45 mins while everyone who wasn't white was sat in the back of the restaurant...some sort of funky reverse racism happening in this place.

After lunch, we decided to head to the car rental place to return the car and get to the airport a little early. Our flight was at 5pm and we got onto the plane, got settled and Santi promptly fell asleep and slept for the entire flight! It was a great trip and we can't wait to go back again!
