What I have learned this semester is that home is what you make of it. While I loved my time living in the desert, I feel that I adjusted to my new surroundings by making an effort see the sights through the eyes of a local, or in my case, a new resident.
My efforts, in my opinion, have been successful more often than not. I have found some gems in the city that will no doubt be mainstays on my radar. Other times, there were a few strike outs, so to speak, that I can at least say I tried once even if I won’t be a returning customer.
I’ve tasted the flavors of local eateries, decided where the best beaches are and most recently, try my hand at water sports via skim boarding. I found my favorite barbershop and immersed myself in events around the town like the USNS William McLean boat launch. I’ve already hit up my new favorite Indian fast food place- Royal India- at least a handful of times since I discovered it.
If anything, I think this blog has taught me that searching for post topics shouldn’t be my only motivation for exploring the beautiful offerings of San Diego. This city has so much to offer to people of all kinds of interests. While the close proximity to the Pacific is a great amenity, San Diego has revealed to me a personality that is independent of the endless horizons that lie westward.
I hope that readers of this blog have had as much fun hearing about my experiences as I have had experiencing them. As the summer approaches, I strongly suggest a summer excursion to San Diego for adventurous spirits looking to escape the Arizona heat. It’s only a few hours drive away. Use this blog as a jump start for places to see during your stay, the amazing city of San Diego will guide you from there.
