Esco Walk #2


I posted before about the first Escondido historical walk I went on.  There are five different Escondido walks - how impressive is that.  Especially enjoy them since they are free and burn calories.  I will freely admit that I am the only one ever with a camera on the tours but that is fine with me.  So recently I went on my second walk.  I did not like it as much as the first one as this one focused on the location of things that are no longer there.  The old high school, the old hospital, the old hotel, the old city hall, etc.  It was still a nice night for a walk and Carla went with me which I totally thought was completely indulgent of her, especially considering she was born and raised here.  Since nothing talked about on this tour was still there, this picture was the highlight of my photo shot.  I took it from atop of the hill where the high school used to be.  It is looking eastward and I just thought, "Wow, my city is so pretty".  How could anyone look at this picture and not think, "How scenic.".  I enjoyed myself and cannot wait for the rest of the tours to come!  Plus did I tell you there are free?  My favorite point was when some others on the tour asked a question about the Trenton Bldg and the docent did not know the answer but I did so I filled in the details for everyone.  I am such a freak.
