We’ve been in San Diego one week today! It has been a glorious week of gorgeous
weather, getting settled in, and exploring our new surroundings! We have also been eating some really great
food! The produce here is amazing – so
many fresh fruits and veges, I’m in heaven!
It’s nice to finally be able to cook when we want to with our little
kitchen. We’ve also been exploring some
more of the local spots, and have tried Mexican, Brazilian, and a delicious
café since I last wrote a post. We’re
scoping out some good spots to take our first visitors (that and the weather
should be incentive enough)!

Our delicious lunch that we had today in Little Italy
On Wednesday night John and I hung out with one of my old
friends Jed! We established that it has
probably been over ten years since we’ve seen each other, and we had an amazing
time catching up. John and I went to
Jed’s new house that he just purchased and hung out with him, his girlfriend
Jamile, and her brother Brian. We had a delightful
time hanging around a campfire in his backyard, and had such a great time that
we made plans for lunch the following day.
On Thursday, we ate at this unbelievable Brazilian
restaurant called Rei Do Gado. There was
a lunch special for $18 all-you-can-eat, and for the amount of food and
delicious meats we ate, it was SO worth the price. Not only did the restaurant have an amazing
buffet, with everything from different types of rice, to various salads, to a
variety of fresh fruits, there were also nine types of meat. Waiters would bring the meat, fresh and
dripping with juices, still on the skewer, and slice the meat right off onto
your plate. They were coming around so
fast that I couldn’t even finish one piece of meat before the next came. There were different types of chicken, pork,
and beef. We even tried one of Jamile’s
favorites – chicken hearts! John and I
had skipped breakfast, and we were still full from lunch at about 9pm, so ended
up just having a salad for dinner!

Today John and I went to Little Italy, where an art fair was
taking place. We had a delicious lunch,
walked around the fair, and then walked down by the water to the port. It has been so amazing here for the past
week, and we are so excited for the weeks to come!
We have been applying to jobs, too, and plan on getting more
into the job searching this upcoming week.
If anyone hears of any job openings or has any connections, please let
us know! :-)
