Commonly referred to as “the bookshop with the book steps”, the Libreria Acqua Alta was such a unique spot to visit. Whenever I plan my trips, I tend to head to instagram to find some cool places. This shop kept coming up featuring the iconic book steps. However, what you usually don’t see is the unique shop in front of this instagram must.
As I was packing for my three week trip to Italy, I knew I wanted to be able to track my fitness. When else do you climb duomos and towers every other day while walking from morning to night? But I also knew I didn’t want to bring another converter to charge it everyday. That’s when I came across the Misfit Path.
Located only two and half hours from downtown San Diego is the Glamis Sand Dunes (Algodones Dunes). The beautiful stretches of sands make you feel as though you’ve taken a plane ride to a whole other country. Whether you go to take pictures, ride ATVs or just to visit, it is definitely somewhere you should not miss.
Walking into stores like Forever 21 theses days, you will see racks and racks of prints. I will never be bored of pinstripes and gingham, but I love the abundance of fruit print this spring. Including one of my favorites; lemons.
After a 3 month summer break in Toronto, I am finally back in San Diego. While Toronto has its graffiti alley and countless murals, California definitely has endless wall art. One of my favorite murals in San Diego is the Greeting Tour postcard.
Canada is celebrating its 150th birthday. With that comes obvious ways to celebrate, i.e. fireworks. The one thing that Ontario did that made everyone slightly confused (and some even angry), is rent a 61-foot tall rubber duck. I was under the impression that it would be in Toronto until August. So I missed it… The duck is however on tour, stopping in six port towns across Ontario. I managed to make it to Midland, and it was well worth the drive from Toronto.
On now at the Del Mar Fairgrounds until July 4th, is the San Diego County Fair. With a theme like the wild west, the fair is the perfect place to spend an afternoon. You can you will find endless amounts of food, rides and animals.
Now that I am back in San Diego for the remainder of the school quarter, it’s hard to believe that I was in Toronto just last week. Since I’m sick in bed, it definitely made me wish I could go back to brunch. One of my favorite places to go is Bonjour Brioche. It brings me back to that time I studied abroad in Tours, France a couple summers ago.
To celebrate Cinco de Mayo this year, I went to Old Town to see the 34th Annual Fiesta. Until Sunday there will be tons of live music and (most importantly) food. It was a great place to spend the afternoon (or get a margarita).
