San Diego's Old Town

I received a call last night at around 9PM from Crew Scheduling - they assigned me a high-hour 4-day trip. I started out by doing an early morning turn to Dallas (I had to be at DIA at 6AM), and then we flew to San Diego. And boy...I have lucked out - I've got another great crew!

The flights were pretty uneventful - though we did spend a lot of time talking to a 17 year old girl who seemed to be pretty enamored with our job! And we had quite a few passengers with seat duplications - there was a last minute aircraft change, and the gate agent didn't do his job properly, leaving us to try and make everyone happy.

When we got to San Diego, the Captain - Jim, First Officer - Marcus (pictured below), "A" Flight Attendant - Brenda, and I (the "C" Flight Attendant - Suzanne decided not to join us tonight) walked to the Trolley Line that would take us to Old Town. We found a Mexican restaurant that Jim had visited on an earlier trip - and boy...was it fantastic!

After dinner, we walked around the area, saw some beautiful flowers...

...saw a couple homes that were for sale (and one that I wish were for sale),

...did a little bit of shopping (Brenda got a new hat and an opal ring), and enjoyed the beautiful evening.

However, as we were leaving the village it was getting dark - there were people dressed in period costume. It was eerie. One guy had a noose around his neck and looked as if he'd be hanging at any minute. And there were weird guys stiffly walking around carrying lanterns.
GET ME OUT OF THERE!
