I've been swamped with work, and had to bring a few friends to get Mr. Tiki out of the Forbidden Maya Tai (home bar)- he had barricaded himself inside, and was either taking selfies with the mug collection, or drinking all the rum, or both. What a sneaky tiki!

I finally got him out for a little sight seeing here in San Diego...

For some reason, he wanted to check out the wrong side of the tracks (his words, not mine)... (this view is from Barrio Logan, looking north to downtown San Diego).

Then he tagged along with me to work one day as we catered a big convention...

With a toddler at home, it's hard to take Mr. Tiki out at night to explore the town (besides, it seems he's sworn off alcohol after spending a week decimating the stock in my own bar). I dragged him down to Pacific Beach (close to home) to check out The Grass Skirt. I had hoped to take him inside, but alas, they opened at 5, a few hours away, so we hung outside...

I showed him some of OB Tiki's work that you can see from the exterior.

We then checked the surf at the Pier. Since Mr. Tiki has been cruising around, I felt a little ocean breeze from the Pacific would be important- and helpful, for his mood.

It was late in the day, and it was pretty windy. Mr. Tiki wanted to paddle out, but I didn't have a wetsuit for him, and didn't want the salt water to mess with the gadgets Mad Dog Mike has embedded in the Bionic (Mr.) Tiki! :)

He's been in San Diego a bit, so trying to show him a few groovy things and get him on his way!
