We drove nearly 500 miles today – from Flagstaff to San Diego.
Originally we thought we'll get tired from all the driving, so we planned to stop somewhere along the way and continue tomorrow. However, we noticed that we can go on driving without a problem so we stopped only when we got to El Cajon, which is about 10 miles east of San Diego.
In the morning, on our way from Flagstaff towards Phoenix, we stopped in a place called Montezuma Castle. It turns out that at around the same time that the Notre Dame was being built in Paris (1200), the local Indians (called "Sinagua", which means "no water") managed to build a "masterpiece" of their own – a mud dwelling on a cliff's face (that's Elad being sarcastic…). Still, it's pretty interesting. We got some pictures for you. Unfortunately you can only view the place from the outside.
It is called Montezuma castle because the first white people that discovered it thought it was a sanctuary built for the Aztec Leader and the name stuck.
At the end of our long drive, when we got to El Cajon, we looked for something to eat, and accidentally stumbled upon a great seafood restaurant, called "Anthony's". We really enjoyed our Friday night's dinner. We had crab cakes, seared Tuna fish, Shrimp Scampi and a Cajun style Catfish. Delicious!
Tomorrow we are planning to go to Sea World or the San Diego Zoo. We'll keep you posted.
