San Diego, California has so much to offer

This is where I live and I have found solace in small book stores, sushi bars, spaces near the beach, and by balboa park. Del hotel Coronado is not only an opulent and extravagant structure, but it is a hotel known for its history.By “history”, I am reffering to some inexplicable events (paranormal) that occurred since it’s been opened. Places such as Torrey pines state park and La Jolla cove which both share breath taking ocean views, are open for the public’s enjoyment. One of the best things about San Diego is stumbling into places like the book store, if you go a few blocks you’re bound to spot one of these gems. Last, balboa park offers beautiful architecture, and scenery. But it also offers culture, dining experiences, and art for tourists and natives to enjoy. #visitsandiego #placestovisit #sandiegotravel #thingstodo #lemon8challenge San Diego
