La Jolla Shores Beach Photos
Every Saturday morning I do a big walk on La Jolla Shores Beach with my friend Ursula. We talk and laugh and solve the problems of the world – all in just under two hours. However, this week she’s visiting family in Switzerland, so I took a camera along for company. I’d only gone a […]
Kind Words About La Jolla Travel Information
Elizabeth Hansen I write this blog because I really like La Jolla and I want visitors to have a good experience when they are here. For the most part, it’s a labor of love…so when someone notices and acknowledges my efforts, it really makes my day. “Need La Jolla Travel Information? Check out this ‘insider’s […]
La Jolla – Best Fish Tacos
“Where can we get the best fish tacos?” I’ve been answering travelers’ questions about San Diego for a long time, and – trust me – this is one of the most frequent. I thought I knew the answer, but just to check, my husband and I bought fish tacos from three places in La Jolla […]
www.SanDiegoFoodFinds.com
My friend Maria Desiderata Montana writes a blog about San Diego restaurants, and I want you to know about it should you decide to venture outside La Jolla for a meal. San Diego Food Finds includes restaurant profiles for great places to eat all over San Diego County. Some of my favorites are: Fidel’s (Mexican) […]
“Are we already at Disneyland, Daddy?”
You wouldn’t be the first to hear this if your small fry are looking out the window as you zoom along Interstate 5 on the way to La Jolla. The San Diego Mormon Temple rises up seemingly out of nowhere and looks a lot like Sleeping Beauty’s Castle in the Magic Kingdom. The stunning white […]
Prophetic Post about the Seals
I wasn’t serious when I suggested in my earlier post that the Children’s Pool had gone to the dogs, but now that’s exactly what’s happening. In a move that’s bizarre – even for the City of San Diego – officials have decided that the way to clear the Children’s Pool of its harbor seal colony is to […]
Roppongi Restaurant & Sushi Bar
“The best deal in town.” That’s how a friend described the happy hour menu at La Jolla’s Roppongi Restaurant & Sushi Bar – so of course I had to go and check it out. And sure enough, my beloved Chinese pot stickers filled with shrimp and scallops and served with Tobiko caviar sauce, normally $14.95, […]
Public Art: Why Buy the Cow?
In case you fell in love with one of the bovines in La Jolla’s CowParade and feel that you must have it, I have just learned that they will be auctioned at a fundraiser on Saturday, July 11 from 6pm – 10pm at the newly opened Robert Paine Scripps Forum at Scripps Institution for Oceanography. […]
Don’t Wait – the Cows Are Mooving On
“Whacky” is not a word usually used to describe La Jolla, but since the arrival of 40 artfully-painted full-size bovines – it’s the perfect descriptor. The colorful fiberglass cows are on display throughout the village and they make me – and a lot of other people – smile as we go about our business. The […]
Shiley Eye Center at UCSD
I just finished reading an article about a professor of ophthalmology at Shiley Eye Center at the University of California San Diego, who helped discover a gene associated with the dry form of macular degeneration. How on earth, you’re asking yourself, is this relevant to a blog About La Jolla? Well, it reminded me how […]
