I spent a lot of time just wandering around Ocean Beach. My sister had to work during the day, so I was on my own. And I couldn’t shake the East Coast time, so even on the days that Kristen could hang out I woke early and craving sunshine.<\/P>
\n

 <\/P>
\n

Every morning I hit the neighborhood coffee stand for a tasty cup of $1 coffee. Boston needs $1 coffee stands. <\/P>
\n

\"\"<\/P>
\n

After wandering for some hours, I find lunch. And I fancy myself a less annoying Rachel Ray on “40 Dollars A Day” while acknowledging <\/SPAN>that I watch too much Food Newtork. $1.00 for cinnamon hazelnut coffee at the coffee stand, $6.20 for a spinach salad, fake turkey and bacon club, and a bottle of sparking water at the People’s co-op. I got a complete organic lunch, for the price of a sandwich at Bread and Circus. I think that day I spent my remaining $33.80 on organic champange for Christmas dinner. Glad I left Cambridge for Ocean Beach, you know, to experience another grocery culture. <\/P>
\n

\"\"<\/P>
\n

I spent some time on the beach. Only the black part of the sand sticks to your hand, the rest brushes away.<\/P>
\n

\"\"<\/P>
\n

I took a trip to Old Town.<\/P>
\n

\"\"<\/P>
\n

I ate fish tacos. Ramone at Ye Olde Towne Mexican Cafe* makes an amazing margarita. I had two. <\/P>
\n

*probably not the exact name of the restaurant – the margaritas were amazing.<\/P>
\n

\"\"<\/P>
\n

I got to see my friend Danielle! And her boyfriend, Alan. We went to the Scripps Aquarium. We were trapped inside a shark. The shark caught Danielle caught twice. Scary. <\/P>
\n

\"\"<\/P>
\n

\"\"<\/P>
\n

My sister took me to the zoo! <\/P>
\n

\"\"<\/P>
\n

\"\"<\/P>
\n

My sister took me downtown to Sushi Deli.<\/P>
\n

\"\"<\/P>

Here’s the obligatory public transportation shot. Doesn’t Kristen look excited to get on the Trolley? San Diego has electric light rail – only two lines. It’s sort of expensive and doesn’t reach many neighborhoods, but it’s clean and runs on the honor system. You buy a ticket at a kiosk, and get on the trolley without showing your ticket to anyone. Kristen assured me that there are “trolley cops” who issue fines if they catch you without a ticket.  <\/P>
