Strolling through San Diego Old Town is a bit like stepping back into the mid-19th Century, and with good reason.  This was the heart of San Diego until around 1870.

San Diego Old town boasts over thirty restaurants, many with a Mexican flair.  There are also over a hundred rather unique shops and some very impressive hotels.  But it’s Old Town’s twenty-seven historic buildings and sites that are the main draw for photographers.

By the way, if you’re reading this and other material authored by me on The Destinary website, this post was not “Posted on (fill in the date) | By destinary” as they’ve been erroneously claiming; this material was in fact reposted.  The Destinary have also been claiming the right to do so, without links back to the original and without full attribution (“by RDoug” and a nonworking link is not proper attribution) with a rather bizarre interpretation of U.S. copyright law in which they claim I’m responsible for changing my RSS feed settings so that they cannot skim my material for commercial purposes.  That would make reading my blog less convenient for you, which I’m not willing to do.  As such, I’ll be running this little diatribe on all travel related posts until they cease and desist, along with this:

Final note:  Considering The Destinary is a site listed as owned by Sonia Bosquez-Platt of Indianapolis Tour & Travel, you may want to rethink doing business with her or her company.
