Awake: 7:09am Temp 57 sleep 6+48 windy...mostly sunny overnight @ Diego.
Kathy made: eggs over easy with bacon & toast for breakfast. Then I called John in Pennsylvania to get the real scoop on the winter weather they are having. Gosh, Phil, the groundhog, wasn't kidding.
Larry called & invited us to go downtown to do a little condo hunting with them in the Little Italy area. We couldn't pass up an invitation for touring with Larry & Sallie; they have a lot more experience seeing San Diego than we do.
In the Little Italy area, we perused an Art Store to start with; then, with the address in hand, we looked @ a nearby condo from the outside. A few blocks further south, again based on the address, we looked @ another condo from the outside. If Larry & Sallie have any further interest, they'll get in touch with the realtor.
Walking back to Larry's car, the aroma from the Buon Appetito Ristorante Italiano was so inviting that Larry had to have something to eat right now, even though he had breakfast not so long ago.
Both K & I declined having lunch as we had just finished a late breakfast before they picked us up. However, when Larry ordered, he & Sallie wound up with more food than they could consume, so K & I had to help clean those plates off good. Kathy must have felt a little uncomfortable when Larry & Sallie 1st ordered as she reluctantly ordered a bowl of minestrone soup. After our food stop, we continued our walk to Larry's car; here are a few more scenes along the way in Little Italy.
We don't know these ladies, but some call them the wall girls.
Back in the car, Larry drove us further into downtown San Diego to see how far the prospective condo would be from the nearest shul (synagogue). It was about (1) mile, a distance they felt they could walk for Shabat services.
Larry & Sallie found out later, there was a mistake in the asking price; a hundred thousand dollars more than advertised. So much for that idea they told us.
From downtown, Larry drove us north to La Jolla, (20) min in fast moving traffic, to visit their other daughter, Debbie, & family. Getting out of the car, I couldn't help noticing a tree across the street with budding flowers; spring time already?
Our timing wasn't so good as Debbie & their younger son, Levi, were napping & her husband, Ethan, was out for his exercise run. Only their son Zev was up & about in the back yard.
Zev has an automatic ball pitching machine in the back yard so he & I took a few swings @ the fast moving ball & actually hit a few. He was also practicing his golf swing using the same large ball. I was impressed with the speed at which that pitching machine shot the ball out.
Sallie & Larry's dog, Teddy, was with us in the car on this trip, but was restricted to staying inside until we arrived @ Debbie & Ethan's home. So with Teddy running around barking & we hitting balls in the back yard, Debbie was wakened from her nap. Fortunately, Levi slept through our intrusion.
Debbie & Ethan have a nice home in a good location; we had to keep moving so we missed seeing Ethan & Levi. Larry & Sallie took us back to our Mission Bay campground; they will be returning to Debbie's later today to celebrate Levi's 2nd birthday. We were invited, but graciously declined. Another fun day for us!
Dinner: tuna steak, rice & golden raisins, broccoli & a Caesar's salad.
Evening movie: we finished watching "Fiddler on the Roof"with (Chaim) Topol, Norma Crane, Leonard Frey, Molly Picon, Paul Mann, Rosalind Harris, Michele Marsh, Neva Small, Candice Bonstein, etc. Rousing, colorful location filmed adaptation of Joseph Stein's hit play based on Sholem Aleichem stories of humble village of Anatevka. Topol is hearty as Tevye, trying to preserve Jewish heritage. 1971. Long but most interesting; funny but sad.
Lights out: 11:54pm.
