Escondido


We are in Escondido, CA tonight.

On our travels today, we passed by Orfila Vineyard and stopped by for a bottle and a tour. Karen made a really cool discovery in our AAA guidebook - an art installation called "Queen Califia's Magical Circle" by Niki de Saint Phalle. It was a large sculpture garden consisting of mosaic sculptures (with beautiful polished stones) and a maze. It was a little confusing to get to, but very much worth a look.

Escondido is about 40 minutes north of San Diego. Our plan is to use this as a new base for two days as we explore some of the surrounding attractions, including Wild Animal Park, which will be our destination tomorrow.
