Nickie and I have been staying in San Diego’s downtown area for a day now. So, far it has been a lot of fun. It is nice to get away from the heat and humidity of St. Louis. It is like St. Louis spring here all the time.

On the first day, we spent most of the time walking around the Gaslamp district. The rental owner described it as a cross between Wrigleyville and Beale Street. Having been to both, I think it is a little more like Beale Street. I did not see a bunch of drunk Cub’s fans yelling obsenities, so it didn’t remind me much of Wrigleyville.

For dinner, we went to Mister Tiki Mai Tai Lounge. It had a Hawaiian Tiki feel to it—hence the name.  We had a couple Mai Tais, some appetizers, and the Pink Cadillac roll.  Which, is by far, the best sushi roll I have ever had.  I am not sure if it is the freshness of the fish or the combination of spicy shrimp, crab, avocado, cream cheese, and eel sauce (which is suprisingly good).  But, it was great.

We finished the night off with some live music at Patricks II.  It was a nice blues bar in the Gaslamp.
