Awake: 7:11am Temp 52 sleep 7+14 mostly sunny overnight @ San Diego, CA.
Kathy has been scouring the local area for Flea markets lately & has zoomed in on the big one called: "Kobey's" on Sports Arena Boulevard, a mere (3) miles from our campground.
One of the reviews on Kobey's said this: "At Kobe's you will find everything from fresh fruit to used tires." "You can go in and sell your things, or get other people's stuff for a steal." "That said, it IS one of the best markets in price." "Good swap meet."
After about (3) hrs of casual looking, & moving through the crowd, we both agreed on the Kobey review. For the most part, the tables, tents, homemade display areas were reasonably organized & maintained.
Keep in mind, all the dealers had to set up their wares on their spot before 7:00am &, save for only a special corner, could not be taken down & moved out until 3:30pm. Then do it all again the following day...if they wanted to.
One display got my attention @ the Flea market; a 1950's furniture set....looking like new. Feast your eyes on this chance of a lifetime! No, I wouldn't buy it myself; I just thought it was in such great shape.
Kathy made a few fruit purchases along with other trinkets; I bought a small wire brush that can attach to my drill.... & a Jagermeister (Deer Hunter) German liquor glass.
Later, K & I attended the 5:30pm vigil Mass @ the Church of St. Mary Magdalene; the church on the hill.
Dinner: leftovers...Italian sausage & eggplant casserole
We enjoyed a Skype call from Nick for (70) min using our Apple computer. We had a sharp picture with clear audio during Skype time. He gave us a wonderful synopsis of his work week with Isilon. I do believe Nick is enjoying his position more & more as an active blogger on the corporate website, an active spokesperson at conferences, & spending more time on the road helping sales and customers.
Jerry would occasionally visit the Skype screen & talk with us & then go & do other things. We were delighted to have such a smooth Skype session; thanks to Nick, Eriko & Jerry.
Evening movie: "I Love You Alice B. Toklas" with Peter Sellers, Jo Van Fleet, Leigh Taylor-Young, Joyce Van Patten. Excellent comedy about the freaking out of mild-mannered L.A. lawyer Sellers has never been better. 1968. Entertaining to say the least.
Lights out: 12:21am.
