Welcome to San Diego, California which is widely known as “America’s Finest City.” San Diego is known for its

miles and miles of white-sandy beaches and amazing weather with a laid- back atmosphere. What many visitors don’t know about San Diego is that it is composed of many distinct and diversified neighborhoods and each have their own unique charm.

Besides going to the incredible San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld, Seaport Village, the Embarcadero, and Balboa Park I enjoy visiting Little Italy and was surprised to find out that it was once home to Italian Fishermen in the beginning of the twelfth century. I like to sit back and enjoy a glass of wine after competing at a horse show and decide which restaurant do I want to visit today which are all within walking distance. Do I want to visit a small deli, a café, or to an upscale restaurant?
Just a few miles North of Little Italy is the historic Old Tow

n with its California Missions and Mexican-American culture. And trust me, there it has some of the best Mexican food. If you’re feeling in the mood, check out the Old Whaley House which is one of two certified haunted houses and give yourself a little scare.

Death on the Vine
Just before high school graduation, Daisy Murphy returns home from a football game and finds her mother standing over her abusive boyfriend’s body—holding a bloody hammer. In the aftermath, Daisy flees her home and eventually establishes a new life as an expert winemaker in the Central Valley of California. But as hard as she tries to get away from her past, the effects of that horrible night travel with her.
Detective Jake Frisco has unearthed a murder at the vineyard where Daisy is employed as the winery’s expert winemaker. It doesn’t take long to discover that Daisy is haunted by her past and carries a heavy burden. It seems that possible involvement in an unsolved murder is part of her life’s baggage. Does this put Daisy at the top of the suspect’s list? Can he put aside his growing feelings for her and follow the leads in the case, even if they take him straight to her as the murderer?
Can Daisy finally face her past and trust that the truth she offers the Detective will be enough to save her? Will she find the courage to ask for a future beyond the sorrow of her youth—a future filled with love and self-worth?

What a pretty photo that last one is. It's been years and years since we drove through that area on a trip.
ReplyDeleteI visited San Diego, but it sounds like I barely touched the surface. You probably have spend a lot of time there to get the full flavor of everything.
