Things To Do In San Diego: March 14-20, 2011

Yesterday was a long day. Most of it isn't worth mentioning here, but we left San Diego late, around 5pm, and didn't get to Arizona until 1:30. Or 2:30. Or 3:30. I'm not really sure because my brain is a little confused with the time change and the time zone change, and the fact that my phone reset timezones but Arizona doesn't partake in daylight savings. So anyway, I have no idea what time it is but I am sitting in a cute little organic coffee shop in Tucson while my travel mates are passed out in the hotel room. It was so nice of my friend Ben, who is working out here and staying at a hotel through April to let us crash in his room. The magic of this trip has been how so many people have been so nice and supportive and helping along the way. Today we'll be driving to El Paso and staying with Ben's brother, so that worked out pretty cool, too. I'm really excited about the week ahead, and as always, you can follow my musings and benign observations on twitter/facebook, and of course right here. Your Tuesday through Thursday listings are after the jump. (Click 'keep on reading'). Jeff did a really thorough job with these listings, but if he missed anything, leave a comment and I'll try to update.
