Everyone should visit San Diego.

San Diego is always a good stop to make, so chill and relaxing here

Welcome to Southern Calif. Glad that you visited us! San Diego is amazing, the beaches are some of the best in the state! I hope that you got a SD hat to replace the NY hat! LOL

i love San Diego. born here, grew up here, left for a while, came back and never left 😎👍

Ca has everything from urban life to mountains, deserts, beaches, forests, national parks, etc. everything for everyone

Born and raised in San Diego. Thank you enjoyed!

My favorite pizza in San Diego is Bronx Pizza!! It's a must try!

I agree with you 100% I lived in California for 4 years and San Diego is awesome. So many beautiful places. You are an amazing person what a beautiful woman. Please be safe and careful much love from Virginia USA

I'm glad you are having a good time in the USA. Here is a like and comment to help your channel grow and get you the recognition you deserve

I was born near San Diego and remember going to the San Diego zoo many times . Thank you for reviving those memories for me. I guess Coyotes are almost everywhere now. We have them here in South Florida as well. I’m glad you’re having such a good time. It shows in these great videos.😎👍👍👍

San Diego is beautiful and the best part of California.

One of the best things about San Diego County is we have great beaches, scuba diving, terrific zoos, mountains that get snow in the winter, and a beautiful desert on the East side of the mountains. I took a German visitor out to see the desert in bloom, and I spotted a tarantula next to the road. She totally freaked out when I let it walk across my hand!

Marie, it's awesome to see your reactions to things we all take for granted, like coyotes. They're useful creatures, though they also have a habit of eating pets, so many people dislike them. The safari park is amazing, and it's always enjoyable seeing what you focus on, and what you don't. I agree that it's a great idea for you to comment on your videos as you put them out because it makes the entire video more immersive. Thanks for bringing us all along. Keep smiling! 😃

For a future trip, I highly encourage a day at Balboa Park; it has a ton of wonderful museums, ranging from sports to aviation. In the harbor area is the San Diego Maritime Museum, and the USS Midway (she’s a retired aircraft carrier) is next door. 😊😊

Nice writing with your left foot. San Diego has been my favorite city to call home. Always something fun and new to do. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Out of all the cities I've ever lived San Diego is the one I always miss the most.

San Diego is one of my favorite cities. Love the safari park

Thanks!

You look like you're having a lot of fun. You seem very happy. And you're doing a frenchtastic job on your videos. Way to go girl. 👍😊😊😊

Thank you, you're always soooo much fun and delightful to watch!!!

Mary, I have long been a subscriber of yours, but admittedly haven't watched any videos of yours for quite a long time (and that's my loss). But as I have maybe made a couple comments on your podcast, I have to tell you that you have an INCREDIBLY lovely spirit about you. You're seemingly VERY authentic, and that's what I bet is what keeps people coming back. Mon ami ma belle Francais! P.S. And I'm glad you love America :)

Funny that happened to me. France stole my American (from California) heart 🇫🇷 💙 And honestly the stereatype of the rude French is totally false (and yes, I was also in Paris), very kind people 😊 Merci Beaucoup for been so nice to us Marie, it's a very rare thing now days

Coyotes live in the tons of canyons we have everywhere and are extremely adaptable - they do fine. Like the skunks, raccoons, and possums i see a lot of here in Point Loma (1mile from Ocean Beach, which is on the other side of the San Diego River from Mission and Pacific Beaches, where you were at). Balboa Park is a must if you come again, it's by the Zoo. My dad was stationed here in the late 50s-early 60s for the Navy, and decided he never wanted to shovel the white stuff in Northeast Washington State ever again so he stayed. Glad you enjoyed our town!

Safari Park is really nice ...Thank you.. like the ice cream🐒🐒🐒🐒🍦🍦🍦🍦

So far San Diego has some of the best Mexican food I ever had there was this Mexican restaurant right off the catwalk of San Diego university and I think it was called gorditos,,❤

Once there was a pizza place in OB called 'Rock Island pizza'. That had great pizza.

Excellent video! it's fun watching somebody enjoy San Diego for the first time!

Little Italy is a wonderful area to find great Italian food and Pizza (as is Old Town for a lot of Mexican restaurants the Barrio Logan area is also famous for it's excellent Mexican food). As others have mentioned, Bronx Pizza is also outstanding, and one of my favorites is Pizzaria Luigi. Since San Diego is networked with canyons, there can be a lot of wildlife turning up in urban and suburban areas. I live in an area not all that far from downtown, and a couple weeks ago, I saw a coyote crossing the street in front of my car in broad daylight! Mostly, though, I've seen skunks, possum, and a few raccoons.

I am so happy for you that you have been able to come to America. If you are going to be in America in August, you might be interested to know that Band Maid will be touring America again in August of this year. I remembered how much you seemed to enjoy their live concert videos and seeing them live is even better. Please take care of yourself and have a wonderful day!

Votre joie de vivre me rend toujour heureuse! Merci!

San Diego’s weather … great experience (not too hot, not too cold)

I loved my 2yrs in California, great weather and lots to do , your very close to Mexico, the border towns aren't the best , further down Baja was beautiful, your video brought back fond memories of California, but I'm a east coast man at heart , new york

San Diego is a beautiful city to visit. Glad you had a great time while you were there Marie.

California has not only Coyotes, but also Cougars, Foxes, Black Bears, even Wolves in the Northern part.

I loved the San Diego Zoo. It's massive and beautiful and the animals look genuinely contented and well cared for. I live 3000 miles away so I don't when I'll ever get back.

💜💜

San Diego is such a blessing to live in, I really hope we stop allowing politicians to make these weird attempts to ruin it like they have other cities. Really need to get the Cost of living situation under control. I'm glad you got to see the Safari Park, it is a gem.

Oh hey that’s the angelika by my house! Love that theater.

Thanks for these nice home movies of your experiences. I think the San Diego safari experiment was used by wild animal parks around the country. Congratulations on your coyote. Their range is pretty much coast to coast and well past border to border. Here in the Midwest hinterland, they are quite abundant. They are seldom seen yet often heard partying all hours of the night. They have a role in a number of deer/vehicle interactions. During the COVID unpleasantness, they were seen venturing into many cities. Still, most people have never and will never see them in the wild. Again, thanks for sharing, Marie. Wishing you continued safe travels.

If I was told I HAD to live in SoCal and money was no object, I'd pick San Diego

It looks like you had a great time! I was stationed at Miramar in the early 1990's and even after years exploring San Diego and southern California there was always something new to do or see. The Safari Park was one of my favorite places. And, though I was only in San Diego for 4 years and it was 30 years ago, I still miss the food. It seemed like whatever neighborhood you visit there is a great restaurant, bistro, taquerian, or food truck. I hope you are enjoying your travels! Stay safe! ❤

Great music! San Diego County is awesome!!! 🌴🏖️

That's our Marie! So I feel like we're BFF's now? 😁 Looking forward to the next one -- you don't disappoint. And thanks for listening my friend.

I am glad you are enjoying San Diego! It's a beautiful city. I wish I could live there.

My son was in Europe with his girlfriend for 2 week, One week in Italy and the second week in France, he had a great time in both countries. They loved Paris and toured around other parts of France. We all live here in southern California about 2 hours north of San Diego. When my son was little I took him to the San Diego zoo and stayed at the Hotel del Coronado. They have a beautiful beach.

The Safari Park is huge, wonderful, diverse, thought provoking, and inspiring! You did a great job of showing it's qualities and your genuine response/reaction to what it has to offer everyone! Thank you!

Thanks for the video Marie! I moved to Escondido CA, 30 miles north of San Diego, in 1968, 4 years before the Wild Animal Park was built. Got to watch it being built and of course, went thru it when it 1st opened. Fun fact, when the park 1st opened you could actually drive thru the park and watch all the animals up close in your car. But for security reasons, a few incidents with the animals happened, they had to stop that part of it, but still a great place to visit. Then moved to San Diego right across from the zoo in Balboa Park and went there often as well. Pretty fortunate now that I think about it, I was young man then and didn’t appreciate what I had!

I think the switch from a music reaction channel to a travel channel was a good idea. You are so happy. Keep up the good work.

Balboa Park is a beautiful place to visit in SD

Fellow american here and you have seen more of my country than i ever have LOL hope you continue to have a great time

Hello Marie fantastic video!!!

Always interesting Marie, glad you are having fun. As a side note: I almost always cringe at music in youtube videos, but I tend to enjoy yours. You certainly have a talent for choosing music and not overdoing it. Nicely done. It shows you put thought and effort into it.

sorry, i gotta correct something you said: you weren't lucky you had beautiful days, you were just in San Diego; beautiful days are like 80-90% of our days ✌️🥰

We went to the zoo a couple of years ago. I forgot about Safari Park. Now we will have to go there. I haven’t been there in decades. And it’s closer to us. 👍 I enjoy seeing the coyotes. They won’t harm you, but they will eat your little dogs.

I guess now you are what The Beach Boys so famously sang about and brought to the worlds attention: The California Girl (Section Francaise)! 🏄‍♀️🌅🐆🇫🇷🇺🇸

Magnifique! 🇫🇷🇺🇸

Wow that was a huge park. I had no idea that was there. I loved it when you wrote Frenchtastic in the snow in Arizona and the sand in San Diego. Great video Marie. Cant wait for the next one.

I was so hoping, during your last video, that you would make it to the Safari Park. It's a really cool place and I was sure you'd enjoy it. As I've said in your AZ videos, Az is my favorite state but San Diego is my favorite city. You're choosing destinations wisely! Thanks again for posting and have a wonderful rest of your trip.

Glad you made it to the Safari Park! The Zoo and the Safari Park are world class, and worth the trip by themselves. I can tell you were at the Angelika Theater as well, which is excellent, but really a special style of theater.

Okapis are my favorite animal :)

So glad you enjoyed San Diego. I am SD born and raised but live in SD's north county near the Zoo Safari Park. Interesting tid bit is that the Safari Park is actually in the city limits of San Diego. When you have a free moment, look at the city limits of San Diego. It is quite large and spread out and even touches the Mexican Border.

There is so much to see and do in San Diego, and I love living here. I hope you got to see Balboa park and the museums there. And lots of great hiking too. I could take you to see deer, turkey and lots of other wild critters if you ever come back.

San Diego is the only other place I would ever want to live in. Perfect weather, food, entertainment etc. oh and the women are gorgeous

Thank you, Ms. Marie. Again, another amazing video. So glad you are having fun and that you are being amazed at each of your adventures here in the USA. Looking forward to your next video. As always have fun and stay safe. )))

still love the stress on your words....funny. I enjoy you. And I have been to France a few times. They had a hard time with my southern accent. Serge thought I was saying FOX, when I said FOLKS....when he visited me in Kentucky!

Originally known as San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park, it was the place our kids loved to go when visiting family nearby. See the big animals in a more natural setting was mind boggling !!! So much better than the old zoos with cages and miniature enclosures.

Walking along the marinas is one of my favorite activities. I hope to go to France some time!

I love the Safari Park! So much to see there. I was just there last month. Took one of the truck safaris in the "African Plains" area. You got a much better look at the Cassowary than I've ever gotten even though I've been there many times. The Condor breeding program is amazing. A couple decades ago, they were almost extinct, and they've successfully bred enough of them to reintroduce enough into the wild to have successful breeding pairs back out in nature.

So glad you are enjoying yourself. The zoo looked awesome. I hope someday you get to visit the Southeast portion of the US. Take care and be safe.

Great video once again Marie. And I love seeing your thoughts on today's. I hope you keep that for future videos. Keep up the good work, and thanks for sharing your adventures with us. ❤

Beautiful city indeed 🔥💯👍🏻😎

I am glad you liked my Hometown 👋

I've heard that's the best zoo on Earth.

Bonjour Marie, one of the things I love about you is that you take such joy in the smallest moments.

Encore une fois, très bien fait

LOVE San Diego, but Chicago will always have the best pizza.

Yet another amazing video Marie! You do such a great job and yes I saw you got a Mustang in this one also...LOL.I love the fact that you get to see so much and share it with us. You should make your next adventure a visit to the Southeast. The Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida. Since you like fast cars the hub of NASCAR in the state of North Carolina would be a great fit and also Myrtle Beach in South Carolina. Continue to have fun and I look forward to your next video!!!

Bonjour Marie! I also saw Dungeons and Dragons in the theater and it was great fun, loved it, highly recommend! Yeah, some theaters have reclining seats, some have heaters in them, some have both, some have semi private 2 seaters with tables on each side and even a hook to hang a coat on! Some theaters will have the staff bring your food order to you in your seat! If theaters in France don't have these amenities, maybe if the ones there fail then one or more of these American companies could open there and blow the French people away...although I heard US investment in France is not always well received. But hey, maybe an American theater company could partner with a French company and make theaters like the one you went to in SD. Hope you are well! Bonne journee! ~Be Blessed

San Diego is probably my favorite city in Cali. Hope you got to try some fish tacos there, too. :)

Great reaction Marie...hard to beat California. Much aloha from Hawaii. 👍❤🤙

I hope you get a chance to get out of the big cities and see some of the wilder areas of the country. Enjoy your stay.

Great video, as always! ❤

The redwoods along the northern coasts tend to be smaller in girth than the giants in Central California, but still very tall. Muir woods, Yosemite and other parks should be next.

Hello Miss Marie !!! First Happy Friday & I hope the weekend Treats you well !!! I Still hope you get to experience the Red Wood Trees 🎄 while your over on the west coast !!! 😁👍👍 As Always The Like Button 🔘 has been Illuminated 😀😎🥴🌞

I was born and raised in San Diego. Weather, Balboa Park, our Zoo are just a few places you can visit. Beaches, mountains, downtown…enjoy.

Très bonne vidéo Marie, et très intéressante! Je suis bien curieux de découvrir l’autre pays que tu as visité, si j’ai entendu correctement. Je sais que tu aimes les animaux. Alors, c’est pas surprenant que tu as aimé le zoo et le parc “safari” en Californie. J’attends avec impatience à regarder tes autres vidéos de la côte ouest des E.U. Entre-temps, j’espère que tout va bien pour toi. À la prochaine.

AN OKAPI!!!! Wahooooooooooo ❤❤ an amazing and incredible critter! Looks like a great day at the safari and that beach looked like a great place to spend sometime! Great video! :0) 🐺

Great to see you having a good time in my home state. Can't wait for more vids

Great video showcasing the 2nd half of your trip to the San Diego zoo! Love all the wide open space that the animals have to just run free. Kudos to the zoo for making this happen. And glad you enjoyed your time at the beach! You really could just walk from one end to the other. Looking forward to the next one! 🌴 🌊 🦁 🐅 🦏🦘🐗

Marie and her Mustangs!!

Kinda weird for me to see you walking around areas that are where me and my kids spend so much time--Pacific Beach, Mission Beach. But so glad you had a good time and you chose a good time to visit--before all of the crowds show up. The other best time is August/September--the water is still warm--much warmer than April.

Hi lovely Marie. I love the zoo! So it was nice to see the Safari and I'm glad you enjoyed your trip. I can't wait for your next video.

Nice Video you should have gone to La Jolla shores Beach. Nice to see you went to the Safari Park in North County and that you were here during good weather. Always fun to see Dead Body Bridge too.

Glad you enjoyed it, nobody else in this country wants to be in that state

Hi Marie! This is another amazing and fun San Diego Marie Adventure 😍😮! I loved your scenic hotel balcony view to start, and the drive, with archways and terraced hills was very pretty to get to Safari Park in Escondido ( my mom lived there 😊). This is such a wonderful animal park, and I love your dual pose in front of the entrance ☺. That flowing water was pretty to start, along with the big hippo sculpture, as well as the gazelle, the big Skull💀, the crazy fuzzy topped bird, and the storks and ducks! 2,000,000 visitors each year is an amazing total, but it is deserved. You looked good on top of the rhino sculpture, lol. And then the little chicks were so cute, right before the weird Okapi (zebra giraffe I do not remember seeing). It took me back seeing how beautiful the natural grounds of this park are, and you know, I do not think I have ever seen a Pumba!! The Marabou Stork was handsome, and the gorilla measurements are huge (you muscles are pretty strong already 😉). The Tiger Trail sounds awesome, and I never knew that dogs and cheetahs were friendly to each other 😵☺. I almost did not even see that cheetah beneath the tree, and then the rhinos - YES, this park has so very much space, and I know the animals love having plenty of room to roam. They even make sure they recycle to water for the park animals. That balloon was pretty big, and very nice. You showed owls too, along with different types of goats I have not seen, and of course the big vulture and its wide wing span is quite imposing 😮❗(You look like you found a delicious ice cream cone on that sunny day too 💕, right before you filmed the beautiful yellow/orange flowers). The storks were having fun in their pond, and then the kangaroos - YAY! And, of course, we got to see a sweet Marie pose between the metal likenesses. The three black/yellow-striped clothes dancers were an interesting diversion (and naturally you spotted the red Mustang, and with the V-formation birds flying overhead) ❤. Yay for Marie to get to wade in the vast Pacific Ocean at San Diego - what relaxing fun 🤗🤗! I did not know you could draw and write so well with your left foot Marie 🤣😃!! That kite was different, and the mburguesas looked pretty good to me. The movie theatre was really nice, with the pizza and flavored Dr. Pepper, and the cool movies of old posters too, along with the always tasty popcorn! Dungeons and Dragons huh?? I've not seen that one, but the theatre also boasted those comfy seats/tables for viewers! I know you enjoyed Little Italy and wow - barbeque chicken is delicious! You got to see a coyote finally Marie - there are so many of them in the woods behind my house here in Austin! What a special treat getting to see and listen to you talk to us for awhile about the trip and your adventure ❤❤! Please take care 🙏🙏🥰🥰 on your travels while enjoying them, and thank you so much for a special video look at San Diego's Safari Park 😍❣

Obviously near the Marine Corps training base where you were if you were hearing the National Anthem being played. I stayed near where you seem to be staying when I was going to Fleet Intelligence Training Center - Pacific (FITC-PAC) back in 2000.

I believe you have a great idea of talking about your day for a few minutes on each video.

6:36: when I found out Marie was left-handed.

Coyotes are all over the US. We have a large pack near my home in NC.

Love the Wild Animal park! We did the safari ride and fed the giraffes when we were there. It’s been a few years. Glad your enjoying it so far. 💕
