I went to Christmas on the Prado on Saturday (AKA December Nights at Balboa Park). Although traffic was terrible, I don't wish to dwell on that, but only to inform you that we walked from afar across the main street to get to Balboa park.
Good times were had by all. We saw lights and heard music and people-watched. We saw a guy with an eye patch and a girl with Cruella Devile hair - except hers was half blue instead of black. And what says Christmas more than wandering a museum looking at fossils while the "Tubafours" played some seasonal tunes?
When we where leaving we headed back to the parking lot but had to stop at the main street light. Traffic cops were there to tell us what to do. When the lights turned for us to walk, the traffic cop yelled "You can cross any direction. Even diagonally. Like New York." Woo hoo hoo.
I thought San Diego was already a classy city, but we are way past classy now.
