Encinitas Day 2 :)

Sunday Funday! :)

 With it being a Sunday and all we tried to do things that wouldn't cost money and would be reflective. (But a few dollars were spent and I felt awful about it. Just as an FYI.)

We woke up, got ready, then headed to find the Encinitas 1st ward. Coolest church building. They had an outdoor courtyard in the middle and the chapel was beautiful!

The view from the church parking lot. Gorgeous!

 After church we went and changed then decided to go walk around the local farmer's market. This is a pretty popular farmers market that a lot of people in the area go to every Sunday.

 They had tons of fresh fruit, veggies, plants, flowers, herbs, food, jewelry, and other randoms. This specific herb and plant booth made me want to start a garden.

 Fresh sushi...DELICIOUS and SUPER cheap!

 Fried fish tacos. MMMMMM :)

 I think artichokes are so pretty.

 GORGEOUS fresh flowers for CHEAP. We need a farmers market like this one.

After the farmers market we decided to go to The Self Realization Center where people go to meditate and let go of any bad feelings. It's cool cause everything here is free, no admission fee, no parking fees, everything is free.

 This center has beautiful gardens with flowers, trees, and coy ponds. The garden overlooks the ocean and has benches all throughout the garden for people to sit and have self realization moments to let go of anything and send it out to the ocean.

 An overlook from one of the benches.

 The coy fish were HUGE and they kind of scared me cause they literally came to the edge and posed for my camera.

This is really a spiritual place for some good self evaluation.

 So nice to look out over the ocean and sit and think about places in your life you could be better and things that may be holding you back from moving forward and getting stronger. This center was originally a temple dedicated to all religions to come and work on self realizations, but due to erosion of the bluffs the temple was disembled for safety.

Part of the remaining temple behind this awesome sign. But this sign is really important because there are always TONS of surfers everywhere to be alert for. (They should also add a bikers sign cause there are TONS of those too.)

 After the Self Realization center we drove around and just looked at the amazing beach houses. This one was built in the 1920's. It literally is 2 huge boats made into houses.

 So cool.

 Then we went and took a nap on the beach. It was hot so we jumped in the cold water a few times.

There are beautiful paintings all over, I will take more pictures of them.

After the beach we went to our hotel and passed out for a couple hours and had a true Sunday nap and hung out in our room the rest of the day.

We are loving this place and are all ready for another beautiful and adventurous day! :)
