Finally, this is the last of my photos from my trip with @fullofhope to Cali.

This day was all about the beach. We started at a beach from y parent’s childhood that they told us about, Mission beach. Mostly we went here to eat at this specific little taco stand called Ruriberto’s Taco Shop.

Guys, I’m not exaggerating, this was the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. So good!

Across from this place and on Mission Beach, is this really old amusement park called Belmont Park. It’s still running, but I’m not gonna lie. There’s no way I’d trust some of the rides in there. I like my life too much, haha.

Right next to Mission beach is Ocean Beach and this beach has this really long cement pier that I’ve been told is the longest of it’s kind in the world. It was a great place to look out on the water an see all kinds of things.

I must say though, this beach seems to attract all kinds of different people. Lots and lots of hippies. One guy actually asked us if we had any weed! Then there were these two guys walking by and I had to do a major double take when I noticed the ginormous snake wrapped around the one guy’s shoulders.

Yes, lots of interesting things to see. Oh, and don’t tell anyone, but later in the day this Brazilian guy was hitting on us like I’ve never seen. We were waiting outside the restroom in this restaurant that we’d gone into.

Later we met up with my cousin @vwd again and she took us to Sunset Cliffs when it was almost dusk. This was the last place we got to see before flying home, and what a perfect ending to the trip.

We had some fun taking photos together and then of the cliffs.

I know there are about a billion photos, but these are the last ones from the trip, promise.

I’m thinking there’s never a time when these beaches aren’t busy, and why would there be when they’re so gorgeous? But this place though, it’s one of the prettiest out of all the sites we went to.

Wao the photos are impressive, what a beautiful place is Sandiego and that amusement park, I would have ridden in all the attractions! You had a great day the food looks very provocative and if you say it is the best Mexican food site you've ever gone to really have to visit!

Oh, thank you so much, I really liked that one too. @obeyempresz!

This is a really inspiring post. It is my third day on steem but im going to continue to post high quality content and hopefully it will pay off :)

Amazing photos, thanks for sharing

this brings back so MANY memories! Did you ride on the rollercoaster 🎢?

One of my favorites of all time!!

no, we did not visit the park, just the beach. thanks for commenting @makingthebest09

Lots of awesome photos! My car during the first two years of college was actually a bright green Kahrmann Ghia just like that one... fondly known as "the pickle." Haven't seen one in years and years!

so you had a pickle, that would be a great post. Do you have any photos that you could share?

Wow... that would take some digging around; I might have a shot or two in the old photos I have sitting around in boxes. You know, pre-digital. Yeah, I know, I'm old... this was like 1982-83-ish.

Beautiful shots! I like the beaches of California 👍 -please vote it

thanks and welcome to Steem @nilsbrueck

what a beautiful place! have a great time. thanks for sharing

Every time I stand before a beautiful beach, its waves seem to whisper to me: If you choose the simple things and find joy in nature's simple treasures, life and living need not be so hard.

Thanks @sh-saimun

Wow, these are so very refreshing in my eyes : This photo makes me so happy! The colors are beautiful. The place & your photography both are wonderful. Really the maximum results.

No doubt, your travel was all fun, you have a very nice photograph over there. I always like following you because of all your content. Keep up @gringalicious

Great travel photos!!! Southern California beach is very iconic. My husband is from SoCal so he takes me to the beach always and I love it.

that's great. I hope these photos brought back great memories

It did! We are coming back in a few weeks and I cant wait to go to the beach. Thanks for sharing!

Of all the photos of San Diego, these are undoubtedly the ones I liked the most! I love the beach, and this one in particular is so so beautiful!
I really like Mexican food but I have never tried the real one, but I am sure that in this restaurant it should be much better eheheh
What a wonderful trip! You're very lucky :) Have an excellent Friday! :)

maybe some day we can make mexican food together, wouldn't that be fun?

More spectacular photos of a beautiful trip! :)

thanks so much for stopping by and commenting @crissimoes

Magnificas fotos! excelente tu viaje. Gracias por compartir.

muchas gracias!

Hi gorgeous! I love the sea so much! I hope to be there with you enjoying this natural beauty! The tacos looks super yummy my dear.

thanks so much @creativewoman

Some really exciting shots. I particularly like the ones of the amusement park, the palm trees, and the car. A lot of seeming movement and geometric shapes in those. And then you have the bright green car enlivening things. That star wars shade was just up my alley.

fantastic commenting @prydefoltz, thanks so much. I am glad you enjoyed my photos

Nice capturing of San Diago. I love the ocean....I still remember visiting San Diago with my x-fiance about 30 years ago.

Thanks @hanamana

Love the shots of Ruriberto's! Will defintely seek this out on our next trip to San Diego. Enjoyed your point of view, following and upvoted!

if you can, don't miss this taco stand, it was amazing for sure

Really good job, it's really inspiring talking 'bout places. I've been watching your job and it is really good, good shoots and well, hope you keep doing it!!! Who says that for know somewhere is necessary a flight ticket hahaha! Hugs and regards from Venezuela

thanks for the great commenting and welcome to Steem @rafaco

great .... hopefully you become a famous and top photographer

you are just amazing big brother...!!!pls help me to grow up here in steemit

nothing to say,it is amazing. sky, city,water all clear nice picture have a good day

thanks so much for commenting

Some really fantastic shots there! I'm not sure whether it's the food photography that got you into travel photography or the food photography came from an existing interest in photography but you definitely have a talent for it. So excited to see the trips you have planned!

it all began with food and it's branching out to travel and in other areas. I love photography more and more every day. Great commenting as always @skiesandsports

Ah fantastic, that's totally the best way to nurture a passion for photography, just learning the skills through something that you already enjoy! Looking forward to seeing where it takes you!

great pictures

thanks

Wow, i love the view, really nice and the quality of your camera has a pretty mega pixel, though have never had the opportunity to see something of this before, except on pictures and videos... But i like yours @gringalicious

thanks so much @emekasegun

Love all the photos! So beautiful. I was in California...when I was 12! LOL! Looks like you had lots of fun and lots to eat!

it was so much fun, Tess. I hope you had fun while viewing my photos?

Your pictures are awesome ... Great <3 for your photography

thanks so much @joyfulmind

Very cool! Glad you had such an amazing time in good ole San Diego! You should go to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk if you haven't been. :) Then you could go to San Francisco after. Or tour the Google Campus, lots of cool things to do in the Bay Area, which is where I grew up. My parents still live there. Anyways, awesome photos as always! :)

well, maybe I'll add the bay area to my next Cali trip. Thanks for the suggestions @mrchef111

You definitely should!! You could get some amazing photos there. And some great food choices.

I stayed after seeing your photos, specifically that of the nachos, wanting to eat some, remember that the tacos should be accompanied by their spicy sauce and then you will know what the true flavor of Mexico is.
I really liked your post.
Congrats !!

thanks so much for the great commenting @monicacord

Wow, what's nice, what's the place, and your post sau,good

This is awesome, I hope to make a visit too one day. The images are fantastic.

thanks so much for the kind words, I hope you make it there some day also
