We took the vintage train car to San Diego with the Art Deco Society and had an absolute ball! Great fun and a day filled with adventure….. But, Paul lost our old faithful camera at Union Station on the way home!
All Aboard
We took a harbor cruise, walked in the old County Building via a private tour, dined in Little Italy, and rode the rails! Not a picture to be had!
We arrived and headed to the harbor for a cruise
The iPhone found us and provided an aerial map of the building!
Great old building to explore
We dined in Little Italy.
Great dining and an interesting walk! Just five blocks form the train station!
Little Italy in San Diego has been an ethnic business and residential community since the 1920’s. It claims to be Downtown San Diego’s oldest continuous neighborhood business district. At one time, more than 6,000 Italian families lived in Little Italy and toiled to build San Diego into the center of the world tuna industry.
Today, you will find a wide array of authentic Italian restaurants, many with sidewalk dining areas which create a festive atmosphere. There are also several Italian markets and other businesses. We enjoyed strolling through Little Italy and felt safe walking the streets here at night since there were many people frequenting the restaurants.
