An Israeli in the bay

Weller Street, San Diego.

Weller Street, San Diego.Hi all from San Diego, CA. I am here for a conference called WINE2007.

Yesterday I have flown a pure domestic itinerary for the first time without ever presenting my passport. I flew via Salt Lake City, where the pilot announced it’s 30 degrees. “Hmm, warm,” I thought to myself until I realized he was using a strangely calibrated scale called Fahrenheit and he actually meant minus 1, which explained the snow everywhere.

Upon arrival at SD, I decided to visit the road where I have lived 20 years ago. At that time my family lived in University city, San Diego and I went to elementary school. I managed to find the street, the school, and the house (photos soon).

Now I’m waiting for the conference to start. More updates to come.

  2. Surely it has changed:
    1. The car in the driveway is not your mom’s Toyota:)
    2. The basketball hook and board, which we used to play with, on the top of the garage is missing:(
    3. The shades of the bedroom window are different from those which woke us up rattling in the earthquake.
    Otherwise I agree: it looks exactly like 20 years ago….
