Week 7 -first half - San Diego Day 1

Mission Beach

Mission Beach

Mark in San Diego

       We had a lovely two days (tooooo short!) in San Diego.  We are staying at a Wyndham on Rosecrans in Point Loma area.  After we checked in, we went to find the Korean restaurant where we ate two years ago.  It was not quite as good as we remembered, although good.  The fried egg rolls were really good, but I ordered something WAY too hot for me...which was not the restaurant's fault.  It was tofu, lemongrass and HOT peppers.  Mark had really good fried chicken wings.  Then, we went for a walk along the beach in Mission Beach.  It was a little chilly, but a lovely walk. 

Then, we went to a play in Old Town at the Cygnet Theater, Parade.  It was powerful, extremely well acted, but a depressing subject - the Leo Frank case in Atlanta in 1913.  He was accused of murdering a 13 year old factory girl, but convicted because he was Jewish.  A complete miscarriage of justice.  The governor bravely commuted his sentence from death to life in prison, but it ended his political career and he and his wife left the state.  After two years in prison, Frank was lynched with the complicity of many powerful politicians.  Anyhow, the play was very well done - a lot of singing and dancing, despite the dark theme.
