We took a two-day tour to Julian, Anza-Borrego, Pechanga and Temecula. Although the forecast called for some rain, I never opened my umbrella. It was pretty cold, though, and very windy in the desert.
Julian, in the Cuyamaca mountains east of San Diego, is famous for its apple pie, which we certainly tried.
In the afternoon, we visited Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. There were no wildflowers this year, but we saw a few of the sculptures by Ricardo Breceda. Here are my photos of them.
We spent the night at Pechanga Resort Casino. Because they are a sponsor of the Lakers, they have a 2020 Lakers NBA Championship ring on display. Here is an 11-second video of the ring. (If necessary, click to enlarge the video.)
The next day, we had lunch at Wilson Creek Winery in Temecula and stopped in Old Town Temecula.
