We arrived in San Diego on Thursday, August 14th, and we stayed there for four nights. We stayed in The Sofia Hotel in downtown, a few minutes from the Gaslamp Quarter.

Here is a selection of pictures we took in San Diego over those four days.

We spent a lot of time in Balboa park, a large cultural park in downtown San Diego.

It's a great place to go for a walk, and there are a lot of museums and attractions in the park.

The first thing we saw, right near the entrance, was a beautiful rose garden and an even better cactus garden.

That looks familiar!

We had a good time in the San Diego Museum of Art, and then had lunch outdoors in the garden. We were just saying to ourselves how great it is to look at these paintings, when Sasha found another museum in a brochure we had taken, 5 minutes away. It was a small private museum, but with a very nice surprise: a real Haarlempje! One of the famous "views of Haarlem" by Jacob van Ruisdael.
