With advance apologies to my friends back in the northern part of North America, I escaped the -20C windchill and snowstorm on the weekend and headed to Southern California, where it is a gorgeous +22C sunny day in La Jolla. My system seems to be in a state of confusion, but I am not complaining!

La Jolla, or “The Jewel”, is a hilly seaside community in northern San Diego occupying 7 miles of coastline along the Pacific Ocean. For real estate watchers, this neighbourhood is one of the most expensive in the. U.S.

Voted one of the best restaurants in San Diego, Puesto is known for Mexican Street Food (okay, in a bit fancier and all-natural and organic way) that serves excellent tacos and bowls. This branch is in La Jolla Village, the other is located downtown.
