A perfect San Diego weekend
San Diego and the marina on the Harbor from Sheraton A mild climate and a top-notch gayborhood make this city shine BILL MALCOLM | Travel Writerbillmalcolm@gmail.com San Diego, the eighth largest city in America and the second largest in California (at least according to LGBTQ Mayor Todd Gloria) is a city of interesting neighborhoods in valleys and mesas on the Pacific Ocean at the southern tip of California, on the border with Tijuana, Sonora, Mexico.
I had the pleasure of visiting the city during Pride weekend when more than 55,000 persons attended the parade and festival held in Balboa Park.
That iconic park, just east of downtown, features the world-famous San Diego Zoo, museums and other attractions. The Museum of Art is one not to miss.
San Diego has a perfect climate: very mild year-round with 10-plus inches of rain, so it is not as desolate nor as hot as nearby Phoenix or Las Vegas.
