Update! Outside in San Diego

It’s been over a month since my last article. And that’s simply because too much fun has been going on.

First, I’m playing around more with YouTube. Expect videos of outdoorsy scenes, such as this 6-minute beachside soundscape, and of course, travel guides. A major playlist is going to be Surf & Pizza. Just turn it on and chillax to sounds of the beach, sunsets, and pizzerias (because beaches and pizzas are obviously a most perfect combo!).

But the actual cause for the pause between posts was a family trip to California. We hit up some national park areas in San Fran, then ran our rental car some 500-600 miles south to the state’s second-largest city, San Diego. For the most part we stayed on the slower and unanimously more alluring Route 1, the Pacific Coast Highway. San Diego’s sunset welcomed us, and we lucked out with sunny days the rest of the trip (no “June gloom” as the locals call it).

It was more than worth it, even for someone who despises driving.

Next Country: USA!

I just realized I’m writing this the day after the USA’s Independence Day. So timely.

This brings me to the next point of this post: the next country to be included in Gringo Inca will be the good ol’ USA. Now, don’t expect a full guide on every town and all fifty states- at least not right away :). We’re gonna post about our favorite outdoor things in San Diego, then write a bit about our local region, the too-often-overlooked Mid-Atlantic.

There’s simply too much that we’ve been doing that people either don’t know about or that we’ve decided is worth sharing! Whether it’s camping in pine forests with the sounds of sea, kayaking every type of body water imaginable, or hiking in all four seasons, we’re doing it all and can’t wait to share it with you.

Until next time!

I really liked this pelican, who was soaring solo over the sunny San Diego shoreline. Fly on, buddy!
