Gringalicious in San Diego Travel Series - Part 3 Horton Plaza
So the adventure continues for my sister @fullofhope and I in San Diego. In this one I'm sharing pictures of Horton plaza. So my opinion here was that a really fun spot to shop and eat…….20 years ago. Yeah, the architecture is very creative and playful, that part I really enjoyed. There were quite a few stores there, but the place was basically a ghost town while we were there.
Also if you want to see some more about our trip check out @fullofhope 's post about the beach HERE

I mean, I’m no fan of crowds, but this was pretty drastic. We were almost lonely eating dinner there. However, I was very happy with the food we got that night. It was a Japanese place and the menu was very simple, but in a good, less-is-more, kind of way.

Unfortunately it was a little more on the fast food side of dining out so the photos I got are not my favorites ever, but the taste of the food was much better than it looks and they made it fresh on the grill from scratch ingredients while you watched. That to me makes all the difference, to be able to watch and also see that’s it’s made fresh.

Maybe the fact that it was Valentine’s day, a weekday, and it had been raining all had something to do with it being so empty. Well, I guess I’ll just have to go back another time to find out. Haha, I think I can make the sacrifice for the sake of satisfying your curiosity.

For me seeing a zombie town is absolutely new.

LOL it was because it was raining! When the weather is not absolutely perfect her people just stay in... And wait 5 minutes... Lol whether is always so perfect here, its really not even fair :D No idea why everyone doesn't just live here, people say its the cost, but that's bullshit, it will end up costing so much more to deal with the snow :D
you have a point about the cost of the snow, LOL. Great commenting @ackza
Awesome photography 😍
thanks so much for commenting @saimegh
It looks very nice there!
Thanks so much for commenting @yummyrum
