Last days

I know I have about 6 months left before leaving this city, but I've made a list of things to do before I leave. And I'm trying to check them off regularly. This city has never done me completely right, but it has also never done me completely wrong. And I feel like a majority of the time I was either settling in or just making due, and of course I did suffer a huge loss and spent a large portion of my time in shock and at the very bottom of my well. After 2 years, I will be thoroughly ready to leave.
Mary and I went to La Jolla last week for the sunset. I forget how close we are to the beach, another goal is to go to the beaches regularly.
Yesterday we went to the wild Animal park in Escondido, we stopped at El Zarape for fish tacos and then hit the road in Luz's black VW beetle. It was so hot, but all the animals were out and about.





I'm trying to have thoroughly San Diegan experiences.

Jo Whaley

I went to the MOPA today to see some new photo exhibits and found Jo Whaley's work. Entitled 'the theater of insects' she magically composes vintage photo's and illustrations with a variety of moths and butterflies.

secrets

I want to own a shop that has secret surprises, secret special pieces that can never be purchased that can only be viewed with a secret password or exchange. Things to brighten your heart, things to forget and remember. Like something that will always be there and comforting, like the curve in a river bed, the bend in a branch, the smell of camphor leaves.
