Day 6: San Diego

It's our second day in San Diego and we decide to split up, meaning some visit the world famous San Diego Zoo while others enjoy Balboa Park with it's various Museums (e.g. the Museum of Photographic Art) and beautiful gardens. It actually turns out to be our lucky day since Governor Schwarzenegger arrives at Balboa Park to sign Chelsea's law, putting sex offenders behind bars for a longer time.  It ends up being a very touching ceremony in memory of Chelsea King, whose death has sparked this bill. In the afternoon we enjoy the really nice weather at the beach and for many of us this is the first time swimming in the Pacific Ocean. For me it was about ten times the amount of waves and salt that I am used to. For tonight we actually managed to get tickets for the San Diego Padres vs the San Francisco Giants baseball game.
