Don't be a tourist...

be a traveller! 

Yes, but sometimes it is great fun to visit places where a lot of tourists go and especially since we have a person with us on this trip who has never travelled before, and thus is in need of some quick-fix in regards to history and culture. So, yes, we went to Old Town San Diego where we had a huge great Mexican Margarita lunch with our neighbors from Japan who also then persuaded us to visit the Whaley House which is by the way supposed to be the most hunted home in America. 

I tried that yellow sauce and it almost killed me!

I had to wash my tongue in my water glas for five minutes afterwards, 

all while the entire table were laughing their heads of at me and my friend Janine reminded me that I am a white Swedish person and should know better :-) 

Oh, the sizes they serve here by the way equals three Swedish portions. 

Lunch with our fantastic friends who were our neighbors when we lived in Japan. 

What a great picture of us all!

Inside the Whaley House

Since we are all a bunch of history nerds we engaged with one of the guides, a historian herself, who really gave us the bonus material and exciting anecdotes about 

the house and its former inhabitants. 

Lucky us! 

It really made the entire tour as she was a fantastic storyteller. Her husband is Swedish by the way. Last name: Björklund. The world is a very small place. Love it!
