Old Town San Diego是聖地牙哥的起源地


San Diego is the site of the first permanent Spanish settlement in California. It was here in 1769, that Father Junipero Serra came to establish the very first mission in a chain of 21 missions that were to be the cornerstone of California’s colonization. Father Serra’s mission and Presidio were built on a hillside overlooking what is currently known as Old Town San Diego. (最早是西班牙殖民地)


At the base of the hill in 1820’s, a small Mexican community of adobe buildings was formed and by 1835 had attained the status of El Pueblo de San Diego. (1820年墨西哥人戰勝了西班牙人,聖地牙哥又歸墨西哥人所有)


直到1846年美國海軍在Old Town插上了美國國旗,San Diego才成為加州的一個城市


Old Town San Diego保留了當年建築物的風貌:教堂、馬車、住家和商店....店員也都穿著古代服裝,就好像走進時光隧道一樣


 


--Mason Street Schoolhouse (聖地牙哥的第一所公立小學)


Built in 1865, the Mason Street School is southern California's first publicly owned schoolhouse. The schoolhouse was built out of salvaged lumber. Notice no two boards appear to be the same width or length. San Diego Historical Days Association now operates the historical landmark.

遇到好多小學的field trip,老師會跟小朋友講解當年上課的一些情形(嗚.....可惜我聽過就忘了orz)


 


--Casa de Estudillo (當年的貴族人家)


聽說還是棟鬼屋哩20090327 San Diego Day 2--Old Town San Diego (有興趣的人可以點我看英文介紹)


Constructed in 1825 as the home of Don Jose Antonio de Estudillo, a Spanish aristocrat. It became a sanctuary for women and children during the American occupation in 1846. For a number of years it was incorrectly identified as "Ramona's Marriage Place" from Helen Hunt Jackson's "Ramona". The adobe structure is considered to be one of Old Town's outstanding show places.


La Casa de Estudillo was turned over to a caretaker in 1887 who sold its tiles, locks, doors and windows. In 1910 architect Hazel W. Waterman supervised the restoration of the house with funds provided by the Spreckels family.

我姊說這輛馬車讓她想起她很愛的一套故事書「蘿拉的拓荒故事」(應該沒什麼人看過吧@@)


就好像故事書裡的場景活生生的出現在眼前一樣20090327 San Diego Day 2--Old Town San Diego

(我的表情怎麼可以這麼兇狠???)


其實我是在研究他們的糖果,這個口味Anise(大茴香?)連店員都叫我們不要買XD (我想應該是類似八角味吧?)


 


墨西哥給人的感覺就是色彩鮮豔,熱情洋溢

來到Old Town一定要吃吃道地的墨西哥菜啊
20090327 San Diego Day 2--Old Town San Diego


 


記得叫份Guacamole(酪梨醬)配玉米片吃20090327 San Diego Day 2--Old Town San Diego


跟一般沾salsa mexicana(莎莎醬--碎洋蔥丁、番茄丁、香菜、鹽、檸檬汁混合成的沾醬)吃起來有不一樣的感覺喔~


酪梨醬除了莎莎醬的成份外還多了一份濃郁的酪梨果香和奶油口感


呵......至於其他餐點,由於方小瑾對於墨西哥菜沒有特別的喜好(尤其我很不喜歡吃麵皮類包餡的食物,像大亨堡、漢堡、taco、Buritto通通不愛!),所以就不特別介紹啦20090327 San Diego Day 2--Old Town San Diego
