"You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth... Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness; For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable." -- Kahlil Gibran

San Diego

Taking the lovely L and her half brother to Sea World for a mini-holiday! Hopefully I'll be posting new photos soon. We'll be staying in the Gaslamp...



(not my photo...)


The Gaslamp Quarter is a neighborhood of downtown San Diego, California. The area is named for the gas lamps that lined the streets. Four new gaslamps, one on each corner at the intersection of Market Street and 5th Avenue, represent these older lamps. The historic district includes 94 historic buildings in the 16 and one-half block area. Many buildings are Victorian Era-themed, and are still in use with active tenants including 100 places to eat, 100 shops and 35 nightclubs. The Quarter is home to many popular events including Mardi Gras in the Gaslamp, Taste of Gaslamp and ShamROCK (St. Patrick's Day). PETCO Park, home of the San Diego Padres is located one block away in downtown San Diego's East Village.

We still have the odd gaslamp in the older parts of town, but upon closer inspection they all have electric light.

Safer, but not as satisfying somehow...
