GasLamp District, a beautiful, amazing and eye-opening area. It is located in the heart of the downtown in San Diego, California.

We were staying in Arcadia, Los Angeles. My husband had an ifficial tour to California for 3 months in 2007.

On a long weekend we decided to have a visit to San Diego. We searched the Interesting places in San Diego, and the one that attracted us was Gas Lamp Dirstrict and then the Disney + Sea World, which I will add later on in another blog :).
We traveled by car to San Diego which took us half day. Our hotel was Sheraton. We had booked it the other night on priceline ;). The vallet parking was available but my husband wanted to park the car hemself. So we entered the parking lot, and Oh My Lord!...the turns seemed never ending. It seemed like we were driving on hair curls :)). At last we got to the parking lot and it was so busy, we had to park it on last floor where we were lucky to have the last place.

Entering the room was the most exciting experience. It was on the 22nd floor and we could see far far buildings in the area. The planes flying by were so close to the windows. It was awesome. The service, to mention here was also damn good.

In evening after we had tea, we prepared ourselves to have a walk down the GasLamp District. We took a map with us. I packed my infant daughter to my back and started our little trip to the downtown.

Oh Boy! the lights, people, traffic, food smells, fashion everything looked a fantasy. The K street, Market street, Island Avenue, G street and all the other streets we saw on foot. When we reached the Convention Center, it felt like a victory seeing it all.

People were singing and playing guitars and violins sitting on the blocks. The life was alive there.

Cuisines from all over the world were there, Iran, Italy, Mexico, Pakistan, India, Egypt and much more.
