After the Art Walk in the morning, I went back to Old Town to walk around the Cinco de Mayo Fiesta celebration. Saw plenty of very colorful crafts being sold, some well done, others looking like the ones they sell at the border crossing in Tijuana. Got to meet 22-year old Sonya Quiroz, the first …

Art Walk In Little Italy
Took the trolley from Old Town and met Sylvia and Rodrigo in the Little Italy district of downtown San Diego for this year’s Art Walk.

Awareness Test #2
This one’s really good, but just as much fun finding out what you missed as watching the video in the first place.

Level One Complete
Absolutely insane first-hand view of a downhill mountain bike race in Chili. Totally video game-like with near crashes and a stray dog.

Monarch Larvae

A Street Name Desired

Mouse House
Came home from lunch and had this little guy waiting for me by the front door. I think he was waiting for some lunch leftovers. Bummer for him that I didn’t have any. He hopped away. The end.

Rubyesque Melt (Sorry, Lisa)
For lunch today I went to Ruby’s in Mission Valley and had my usual Albacore Melt, but this time with my friend, Lannie. Walked around a bit afterwards and came across a blue puppy and some giant chess pieces. Normal, everyday stuff.

Another, Less Welcome, Native Visitor
Came across this juvenile Western Rattlesnake on our driveway while I was taking out the trash. Beautiful animals, but it does worry me a bit to wonder where the rest of the members of the nest are.
