A perfect, peaceful day begins with a visit to the gift shop at the Self-Realization Fellowship in Encinitas. Here you will find India’s finest and most distinctive arts and crafts including clothing, jewelry, musical instruments, books, and beautiful handcrafted gifts. There is something for everyone, and it is difficult to tear yourself away from this exotic abundance.

But, it is time to visit the meditation gardens. After a short walk up the hill, you will find the gardens on the left. Here, is a lush wonderland of flowers, shrubs, and ponds overlooking the ocean where the temple once stood. People are meditating, walking, looking at the ocean and the ponds. All is quiet, serene, and beautiful.

Visit the gift shop and gardens HERE.

 

A short drive south on Highway 101 and you will find Ki’s Restaurant on the left in Cardiff-by-the-Sea. Order downstairs from the menu and the staff will bring your food upstairs where you will be relaxing looking at the beautiful ocean view. The butternut squash and corn enchilada is delicious-yum! Enjoy your meal at the end of a perfect, peaceful day. kisrestaurant.com
