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 […]

Owner Krista Baroudi, whose grandfather built the hotel in […]
La Jolla’s Secret Sandwich Spot
The Sandwich Club is tucked away in the sunlit courtyard of the Merrill Lynch Building. A little lunch place in the courtyard of the Merrill Lynch Building (Fay at Silverado) is a perfect example of why I started this blog. I want visitors to San Diego’s favorite coastal community to wander off the beaten path and discover […]
San Diego Vacation Rental with Ocean View
Vacation rentals are popular because they are good value and can accommodate families in a home-away-from-home environment. The drawback is that picking the right one can be tricky. When I travel, I spend days online looking at pictures and trying to make the right decision. I never know if I should believe the glowing description […]
