Cruising through South California

Temecula, California

January 29, 2016

Pedro signed up for a different version of Spartan Race called Hurricane Heat. This one is in Temecula, California and was Saturday 6-10pm.

Saturday early morning we arrived to Los Angeles, rented a car and drove south to Oceanview-- a cute beach town. After a nap, we drove along the coast to La Jolla admiring all of the beautiful sights. I loved the massive cliffs, waves, and architecture of the houses.

Saturday evening, I dropped Pedro off at his race and drove to Old Town Temecula to explore and eat. I ate dinner at a restaurant called E.A.T. They have a couple of locations and serve good, healthy foods.

Sunday, we drove to San Diego for a quick exploration in the historic Gaslamp Quarter. The architecture downtown was a nice mix of old-school historic and geometric modern. After a rainy drive back towards San Diego, we stopped at a pier in Manhattan Beach. Unexpectedly, a huge wind storm was brewing and produced winds that felt like we were in a hurricane! This was such a thrilling experience. We later learned that the storms from this day caused a lot of trouble for South California.
