SoCal = avocados

I have been eating well while on this vacation.  I love the fresh foods I've had offered to me while in SoCal.  In fact, I commented to my husband, I haven't even seen a McDonalds.  I did see a Wendy's, but it didn't have a drive-through or parking.  I really wanted to get a burger at an In-N-Out Burger, but I didn't come across one.  What I did eat was avocados.  I ate avocados on fish tacos.  I ate avocados on omelettes.  I ate avocados on sushi.  I ate avocados on carnitas.  I bought avocados at the grocery and made guacamole in my hotel room.  I love avocados... and they are SO affordable here.

I'd love to share some of the food I ate with you.  It was DELICIOUS!

In La Jolla (this is pronounced La Hoya.  why?) we went to Sushi on the Rock.  I recommend this place.  Great sushi and perfect location.  Even if you aren't "old money" you can eat in La Jolla.  It's not cheap, but it is yummy.

The Don:  Grilled shrimp, asparagus, crab, AVOCADO, layered with seared tuna and served with ponzu sauce (sorry about the spot on my lens)
Barrio Roll:  Tuna, cilantro and serrano chilies served with fresh salsa and AVOCADO
After dinner, enjoy this sunset

In Old Town San Diego we went to the Old Town Mexican Cafe.  You must order the carnitas.  They are the best.

Yeah, those chips are warm
These are the delicious carintas.  The AVOCADO, cilantro, tomato and onion were on another plate
 Flan ('nuff said)

I want to share the images of the talented women making these delicious tortillas, fresh, every day.
