California

Monday, April 5
The day started out cold and rainy, but eventually it warmed up a bit and Tracy, Breanna, Ari and I took a walk and fed some ducks.



Tuesday April 6
A very nice day. Tracy, Breanna, Ari and I went to Kit Carsen Park and visited Queen Califia's Magical Circle.

It's a huge circle surrounded by a wall with snakes on top, Everything is covered in colorful mozaic tiles and stones. Inside the circle is a maze of black and white tiles and mirrors. In the center is a huge eagle on which Queen Califia sits and holds a bird. Under the eagle is a huge golden egg.




There are 8 totem poles and benches and other sculptures. It's really facinating, the more you look the more unusual aspects you see.




Later on we checked out the Farmer's Market in downtown Escondido--without Ari. Lots of interesting vendors with some unusual food items.
