00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:18,560
Hey guys, what is going on? My name is Lily Monroe and you're listening to Escort Confessions.

2
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:25,520
And today I'm gonna talk about my recent trip to San Diego in sunny California. First of

3
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:32,640
all, I really enjoyed it. You know, people drive like crazy but, you know, sunshine, beaches, it's

4
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:38,960
a whole different vibe from the south. I am definitely thinking of moving there instead of

5
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:45,680
Tampa, Florida. Just because it is California, there's so many attractive people and for work,

6
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:52,800
I think it's gonna be good for me. More people, you know, more money. So yeah, anyways, here we go.

7
00:00:52,800 --> 00:01:00,400
So the first thing I did in San Diego, and please feel free to take notes, I'm just here to thought

8
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:06,240
recommendations, things to do, you know, stuff like that. So the first thing I did was visit the

9
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:14,800
Cabrillo National Monument. It's kind of at the edge of San Diego. It has amazing city view,

10
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:21,520
like you get to see the whole of San Diego. And the view is incredible. I cannot explain it. Like

11
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:28,080
you just have to see it and you'll get to learn a bit, a little bit of history, how, you know,

12
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:35,520
California was discovered, the journey of men who discovered, you know, this beautiful city and

13
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:43,600
stuff like that. And there's few trails, there's a church and it's called Cabrillo National Monument.

14
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:49,680
It costs about 15-20 bucks to get in but it's definitely worth it. Just make sure to go in

15
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:56,640
the morning because by the late afternoon it's gonna be packed. It's pretty busy, you know,

16
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:04,080
shit ton of kids and people and yeah. Yeah, I'm an introvert. I don't really like people

17
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:12,640
but I want people to be there so I'm not alone and I don't know, it's a weird thing. Only

18
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:18,160
introverts will understand that. And if you are a fan of hiking, love the smell of the ocean

19
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:24,960
and you like the pretty views, I recommend visiting Sunset Cliffs Natural Park. It's really

20
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:30,320
pretty. It's in this gorgeous, gorgeous neighborhood and it's a few minutes away from the

21
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:38,000
Cabrillo National Monument. So yeah, have fun, have fun hiking and you know, you can

22
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:47,520
always hike down to the beach and just relax and enjoy your day. So after I did that, I checked

23
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:55,920
into my hotel and then I went to the La Jolla Shores Park and you know, it's free to park there

24
00:02:55,920 --> 00:03:03,520
and I would recommend hiking La Jolla Trail. It's pretty steep, it can be pretty dangerous

25
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:12,000
because the cliffs are made of sand and you can fall and die but so which explains why it's a

26
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:19,120
restricted area. I went there without knowing it was restricted area because I went down to the main

27
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:24,240
path, down to the beach and I'm like wait a minute, that's a wrong trail because GPS was telling me

28
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:31,280
different things. So and then I noticed the path that went off to the to my right, sorry left side

29
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:39,120
and I'm like oh what's that trail and it was a Jolla Trail and yeah and it gives you amazing

30
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:49,360
views of the cliffs and you're oh I don't even know maybe um I would say 50 feet up above everybody

31
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:55,760
else so it's pretty high. If not I think it's a little bit higher than 50 feet but it's really

32
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:03,680
really high so I got really really high on La Jolla Trail. Yeah high as in the altitude not weed.

33
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:13,280
Yeah the next thing I would recommend is going to Balboa Park. It's free entry, it's really pretty

34
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:23,040
once again. There's multiple churches that are near it, there's multiple museums. Also the globe

35
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:31,200
is in that park. It's kind of like Shakespeare, Shakespearean globe but it's in America so not

36
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:39,360
really Shakespearean. It's just called the globe but yeah it's a cool area. Feel free to check that

37
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:45,920
out. I actually visited the Balboa Park on my very first bubble date which actually went quite well.

38
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:52,080
I was kind of surprised but yeah and it was at night time but everything is open during daytime

39
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:59,520
so make sure to go during daytime and definitely definitely visit the San Diego Zoo. They have lots

40
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:06,320
of animals. They treat their animals very good. They feed them really good. They actually had

41
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:14,640
one of the endangered species actually had a baby recently, a few furry babies so I'm super happy

42
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:22,880
about that and I wanted to go see panda at that zoo but unfortunately they only had red pandas

43
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:29,360
but still those red pandas were really freaking adorable and if you love animals as much as me

44
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:39,040
donate to that zoo because yeah the entry does cost 70 dollars and I did ask why is it so expensive

45
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:46,720
because most of the zoos I've been to are like 35-40 dollars not 70 dollars but it is one of the

46
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:52,720
biggest zoos in America so which makes sense why it costs so much and of course you know food

47
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:59,760
there's you know money for food shelter medicine all all kinds of stuff oh yeah and the employer

48
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:06,400
wages but who cares about employees like I care more about animals so anyways I do care about

49
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:13,520
employees but not as much as I do about animals so yeah definitely check out San Diego Zoo.

50
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:20,400
There's plenty of activities for kids. There's so many animals to see and there's also San Diego

51
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:27,520
Safari Park that I unfortunately didn't have time to go to but it's a safari park like it's

52
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:36,640
it's pretty cool the animals come to you in a safari so yeah I think it's a really cool concept.

53
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:44,960
One of my favorite things there in San Diego was visiting Hotel Del Coronado. It's where they filmed

54
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:52,320
my favorite movie Some Like It Hot with Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon and I've been

55
00:06:52,320 --> 00:07:01,600
wanting to go there for seven years at least and I finally got there and it looked smaller than in

56
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:10,640
the movie actually especially the reception area. I did get to ride the elevator. There's also a few

57
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:18,800
ghosts in that hotel and it's got cool history and it's got the gift shop of course and it's got

58
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:27,280
fitness centers oh I don't yeah of course it costs 700 dollars per night but it's it's a beautiful

59
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:33,040
hotel it's a resort so there's gonna be lots of kids so make sure to go during slow season

60
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:39,760
because there's not a lot of people during slow seasons so yeah but I also got to do some surfing

61
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:46,640
my instructor was terrible but I got to surf a little bit and the waves are really great in

62
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:53,600
California especially in the morning and I got some bruises I got some scratches and I'm like yes

63
00:07:53,600 --> 00:08:02,720
bad old scars fuck yeah and yeah I posted one of the surf photos on Trist ad on my ad on Trist

64
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:09,600
online so yeah it's surfing is really calming it's a sport you know you have to learn how to

65
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:16,080
balance yourself you have to know oh is this the wave is this the right wave I'm taking um

66
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:23,040
yes should I stand up now or yeah it's uh yeah it's pretty great it's pretty great like I've

67
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:29,120
never surfed before so it was a new experience and I love water I love being by the water so

68
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:36,480
yeah it was it was fantastic experience so yeah if you haven't surfed before definitely take some

69
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:44,800
surfing lessons from a professional definitely check out San Clemente area and the Dana point

70
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:51,200
I actually got to feed squirrels at Dana point one of them bit me that little tiny fucker but

71
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:56,800
that's okay I actually enjoyed it I've never been got bitten by a squirrel before so it was a quite

72
