Country Girl in the City #6

Hey Central California artist, don’t you work anymore?

Of course I do! After I finish telling you about my trip to Sandy Eggo, I’ll show you that I do still work. So there.

My resourceful sister found an urban hike for us. 5.5 miles around San Diego, crossing bridges. It is called the Seven Bridge Hike. (or walk, more likely, because there are restaurants along the way so a pack with food and water isn’t required.)

The first bridge in the walk is on the eastern edge of Balboa Park.

Balboa Park is full of beautiful architecture. I had forgotten just how many gorgeous old buildings are there. We lingered after the first bridge because there were many distractions.

The next bridge was a driving bridge with sidewalks. It is ornate when you drive beneath it on the freeway, but the details don’t show when you walk across, leaving the park on its western edge.

More about our seven bridge walk tomorrow. Then maybe I’ll get back to being a working artist.

  1. More of those wonderful, old, architecturally-rich buildings! I haven’t been to Balboa Park in years, but isn’t there a concert shell there with a pipe organ that is still used for performances?

    • I remember that concert place from my college days, and we may have walked past it while looking at all the other things. I could spend an entire day just meandering among the buildings, ogling, oohing, ahhing. . .
