Wow, back in Detroit. It kinda feels surreal to be back but it also feels like I haven't left. Convention could definitely be described as an experience- both the great & the bad. There wasn't as much time spent in San Diego as I expected since the convention resort was held away from downtown or the beaches so it was hard to escape. Nevertheless, we were still able to visit places, namely Mission Beach, Jimmy Love's in the gas lamp district, a couple other bars, Pacific Beach, Balboa Park in general, & the zoo.
The best night out was when after the bar kicked everyone out at 1:30am (what??) we picked up a six pack & hung out on Pacific Beach by Crystal Pier. I wish I could have taken a picture but it was gorgeous- big & bright moon, watching the waves break, being able to walk out farther than normal because it was during low tide, & seeing the city lights twinkle in the distance. Great place to reflect & I had some great company.
Best experience was getting to know better/meeting the UBC chapter (+ Alex). They were such friendly, kind, open, & fun people. They're definitely friends that I hope to keep in touch w/ & hopefully I'll be able to visit them soon!
Overall, I'm very much satisfied w/ the touristy things I did in San Diego, especially getting to eat delicious Mexican food (i.e. Mr. Roberto's & Sombrero's) but I think another important moment was when we stopped by In-N-Out. The place kicks McDonald's in the face, not that I guess that's really difficult. They're efficeint but it's true that they use fresh ingredients- after all, they slice the potatoes into fries right in front of you. Awesome. & pretty tasty. Not the best burger I've had but I enjoy the philosophy very much. Not to mention that it's a cheap price for a burger even in Michigan living standards (similar to a Five Guys cheeseburger for less than $4)
As you could probably guess, due to my complete lack of dietary concern I need to work out hahah. I'm already missing the weather back in SD which can be summarized into warm & sunny days, cool nights, & perfect.
