Tina’s place was lovely. Ultra clean-maybe the cleanest I’ve ever experienced. Very nice. It was also cozy and comfortable. I slept on the bed in the laundry room because it seemed a bit softer than the Murphy bed and I liked the little room for sleep. I brought my preferred ear plugs which I put in every morning when woken by the airplanes. They worked well so I could sleep more. The fireplace was my favorite thing here -it was so comforting after a long prior week of traveling. The couch was comfy too and the WiFi worked well for Zoom calls I had to take for work. The outdoor porch area was nice to sit in the afternoon sunshine.
It was kind of overcast one afternoon so I went to Balboa Park gardens and walked around a little market there. It was surprisingly bustling for a Tuesday afternoon with many live musicians performing. I also visited ocean beach and mission beach -both fantastic in their own ways. I got some groceries from the People’s Co-Op a few blocks away and they had some delicious food and friendly folks.
