The first time I got a glimpse of balboa park was thru the back window of a truck. It was a fleeting moment during a full tour of San Diego that my new neighbor was kind enough to give me and my four roommates when we were new to the city. To this day I don't remember everywhere he took us but Balboa Park immediately stood out as a place I needed to come back to.
It is an oasis of culture and natural beauty away from the beach living atmosphere that I am used to. Coming here instantly makes me calm and reflective... sitting on a bench at the reflection pool, greek yogurt in hand and a sliver of sun warming my face is my definition of peace and happiness.
