Sitting on the Row in an air-conditioned building away from the muggy sunny outside world should never be attempted by the faint of heart, but I was willing to give it a good college try, and it was good. As a self-proclaimed “loner” I had fun talking with people, most of which were not very excited, or interested to hear about San Diego, mainly because it was located in California.

After Carol and I finished for the day we headed out to Walmart for some exciting shopping and people watching, and later, a trip to Bandana’s BBQ. We both ordered our own full slabs of ribs which included two sides and garlic bread. The ribs had a very good smoke on them, and very tender. They put some type of sauce on them and offered six more on the table, ranging from a sweet to spicy. We had enough left over for several meals.

Each night before the entertainment they draw names and give out door prizes, I won a collapsible cooler from Camco.

 Entertainment for the night was provided by Reza, an excellent illusionist. Reza mainly performs in Branson, MO, but does travel around the country. He definitely likes audience participation, and that includes children. He did one illusion where he was confined in some type of metal contraption that had a triangular area that exposed his chest and abdomen. They put a screen cover over the opening, and his assistant climbed through it as though she was climbing through his chest and abdomen. He brought a young boy and did tricks with three rings, using the boy as his assistant.

Not a lot of excitement in The ROW today, but there was some good conversation. We were asked to pick up popcorn for movie night. They were anticipating a large crowd so we picked up 80 pounds of popcorn from different stores, wiped two stores out. Carol and I did not go, we just relaxed for the evening. 

The only selling point I had for coming to San Diego was less humidity than here. Those ribs we bought a couple of days ago, we just finished them for lunch. It was talent show night, acts ranged from singing to comedy, everybody did a good job.

The ROW ended yesterday, we were able to sleep in this morning, ha ha. Remember the 80 pounds of popcorn we picked up, we were asked to return some of it since it was not all used. Only needed to take back 80 pounds to both stores, apparently there was a small turn out for the movie.

Today was the street fair, mostly food, closing ceremony, and fireworks. The lines were long for food, but worth it. There were craft beers and wine at reasonable prices, Carol tried several of the beers. We had a pizza from one f the vendors, who also catered most of the dinner functions. The fireworks started late, I believe it was due to the night not quite dark enough to make them enjoyable.

Tomorrow we are on our way to Wisconsin to see the grand kids.
