Visiting Vista

Vista (Spanish for "view") is a medium-sized city in San Diego County, within the San Diego-Carlsbad, CA metropolitan statistical area. As of the 2020 census, Vista had a population of 98,381. Current data estimates a 2023 population of 99,835
Much of Vista's current territory was once part of the Mexican land grants Rancho Buena Vista and Rancho Guajome.
Inhibited by the lack of water, Vista grew slowly through the early 1910s to less than 1,000 people. With a 1923, however, the Vista Irrigation District had the necessary funding to construct a new water supply from Lake Henshaw.Agriculture began to flourish in the area, including citrus fruits, tomatoes, celery, and most prominently avocados. Vista became home to multiple avocado packing facilities, and by the late 1940s, was promoted as "the avocado capital of the world."
So after linner, we took a leisurely stroll in the central shopping area along Main St. and onto Alley Art Man Way.
Lots of cool murals, incl The Fab Four themed one with Yellow Submarine (where we all live beneath the waves)
while observing Octopuses Gardens being Strawberry Fields (Forever!)
We duly took notice of some RE transactions but decided against buying the most cheapest property at slightly over $500K.

We then made our final Albertsons run and stopped at the strawberries farm on our way in, but just missed the closing time.

...returned back to resort and completed our planning for the week.
It did get quite dark at 5:39 p.m., which I didn't expect thinking that being on the West Coast would get me at least 1 hour more before sunset. So we forgo evening stroll and stayed in

Goodnight Irene
