SAN DIEGO'S BALBOA PARK































I can't believe our Wednesday walk at Balboa park is over already. I have looked forward to it for such a long time.
We had such a wonderful walk, and time just flew by. I actually recognized our meeting place (the fountain) from Z’s pictures in the past.

Z’s Papillon friends were absolutely lovely folks. Jule and Harry with their boy Pap, Louis Vuitton. Louis was in his glory, surrounded by beautiful girlie dogs. Jule and Harry are warm and welcoming.

Marilyn has a perpetual huge, sincere smile, and I felt immediately as if I had known her always. Her Pap girl, Penny, is just lovely, a retired champion.

Balboa Park is too beautiful to describe. The architecture, landscaping, fountains, etc. just took my breath away. San Diego is “hands down” the most beautiful city I have ever visited. People here are friendly, and courteous as well.

And as always there is Z, the fountain of knowledge, leading us merrily through the park.

We stopped at the tea house for a cup of lovely tea. The dogs all sat in their own chairs (now there’s something I’ve never seen in Maine, lol) and were perfect little guests.

Paul was enjoying himself at the Aerospace Museum, and Automobile museum. He joined us for lunch at the Sculpture Garden, where the Belles again acted as if they sat in chairs to dine every day of the week, lol. Lunch was delicious, as seems to be the norm in San Diego.
Here is beautiful Berry: Her face and eyes (especially those expressive eyes) are gorgeous.




We did have a big scare when Bella hopped up on a concrete wall, only to tumble over the other side where there was a huge drop off! I leapt to grab her leash and harness plus a handful of hair and skin! I hauled her back up, with my heart in my throat. Bella was just fine, tho shaking a bit. I must have squashed Breezey in the process, but she didn't seem to mind, lol.
