Heritage Park - Old Town San Diego

We made plans to have lunch at Old Town Tequila Factory, where we each had their $10.99 lunch buffet, and a Margarita.

Their buffet is quite an offering of salads and fruits.  Build your own tacos or burritos with options of carne asada, pollo asada and/or chile colorado.  Just add the trimmings from a selection of peppers, cilantro, beans,sour cream, cheese, guacamole etc.

And enjoy the rooftop view.  I should have saved room for dessert

Heritage County Park is located adjacent to Old Town San Diego State Historic Park and across the street from OTTF.  The county park is only 8 acres that was developed to preserve the historically significant Victorian architecture of San Diego.

All the homes have had their exteriors restored, but only the Senlis Cottage is open to the public.  The historic cottage has been converted into a museum,which expected to be open today as we wanted a destination to walk off a bit of our Old Town lunch.  A couple of these homes are said to be haunted!

Temple Beth Israel was the first synagogue in San Diego, holding its first service Sept 25 1889.  Other faiths including Catholic have used the synagogue to hold services while their own churches were being constructed.
It is now used primarily for weddings.  It is beautiful venue with two pump organs that can be used if desired.  Our friends Ken and Nikki were married there.

Beyond the Tea House is a short loop trail that leads up to an overlook, complete with a bench.  The other end of the loop is along side the Christian House.

The stroll through Heritage Park was too short to walk off our lunch at Old Town Tequila Factory.

We wish all our readers a very Merry Christmas, No Bad Days in the coming year.
