Down Time in the Shade

Posted by
Steven (Chicagoland, United States) on 7 September 2023 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

After a long flight from Chicago, including a layover in San Diego, it was time to finally find a place to sit back and relax. The most popular spot was the eastern pool. It was in the shade, surrounded by the towering hotel buildings.

I could never settle in a place like this with so many people and surrounded by tall buildings. It would be impossible for me to relax, but I'm sure there are others who enjoy it.

@Marie: I totally agree! For us, it was just getting out of the way of people who were walking the limited walkways. Here, it's mostly children in the pool screaming and yelling, which is amplified by the buildings. Thankfully, this was only an overnight stop. :-)

Coucou Steven,
J'avoue que l'endroit ne me fait pas du tout rêver, surtout en étant entourée de tout ce béton, mais je sais bien qu'il en faut pour tous les goûts et c'est très bien ainsi.
Bonne journée.
