Churros el Tigre, San Ysidro

Since we were in the area, I headed down Dairy Mart Road and hung a left at Camino de la Plaza. I wasn't sure if it would lead me to the outlets down south. While on the way, TC and I could see the hills of Tijuana...

I hadn't ever driven this stretch of road before to get to the outlet but luckily it led me to the right place. I wanted us to try a snack at this kiosk...

Fish Mart

Lunch today was at a place I'd seen before but never paid much attention to.

My hairstylist recommended it as well as my sister...

North Park Post Office Lofts

Earlier today, from THIS (circa 2013):

on the corner of southwest corner of Grim and North Park Way...

Another Library yarn bombed! North Park Public Library

As TC and I walked along North Park Way, I admired the font...

gracing the side of the North Park Library. Right we we got to the corner, we both noticed the familiar cozy wrappings adorning the trees in front of the library...

Snoice (Snow & Ice)

Yesterday TC got a message from one of her classmates to check out her auntie's new dessert place...

It's diagonally across the street from Leocynn's Lumpia where we just had some Filipino grub...

and housed in Kababayan Bakery (new there since Fall 2013 when they relocated from the Nestor area)...

They offer two types of desserts here...

Leocynn's Lumpia - Four years later...

Has it really been that long since our last visit?

Four years have elapsed since then..

and it was high time we returned (albeit with another ulterior motive across the street)...

Return to Pavaraga Espresso Bar

After yesterday's crappy and slightly rainy weather, today was a big improvement.

TC and I headed out to the this tiny strip mall for a few drinks before heading out to lunch..

Stell Coffee & Tea Company

This past weekend we went to an area known collectively as "The Inland Empire"...

Unfortunately it was for a sad event, my aunt's memorial service (she was my dad's cousin's wife).

We left super early last week so we could have breakfast and coffee prior to the memorial service...

Because I like to look up places ahead of time, I figured we'd have our breakfast in nearby Redlands...

Coronado + Late date night dinner @ Tartine

We dropped off TC at the beach to meet up with her team mates...

They would be having a bonfire and TC really wanted to be there for "team bonding".

So off we went across one of San Diego's most iconic symbols, the Coronado Bridge which spans the bay and boasts spectacular views of downtown San Diego.  Incidentally the Coronado Bridge is also the same age as yours truly...

San Diego screening of documentary, "Delano Manongs"

Last night Bert and I attended the screening of the documentary, "Delano Manongs"...

which was held at the SD Central Library...

and was co-sponsored by Silayan Filipina and the Filipino National Historical Society, San Diego Chapter (of which Bert and I were charter members)...

Living Room Cafe @ The SD Central Library

Bert and I originally planned to have coffee at Bean Bar across the street from the SD Central Library...

Unfortunately, it was already closed by 5:30 pm, then I remembered that the library had a cafe there...
