Took the train all the way down to San Ysidro, which is the town just before the border to Mexico. You could walk across if you 1) had your passport with you 2) wanted to go there (I would not have minded actually) and 3) were confident you could get back in.
It was pretty cool just to see across into Tijuana, where they have this big arch constructed and also a big Mexican flag. There was also a large outlet mall down here on the US side (kind of a strange place to put it) which was good timing near the end of the trip.

Back through downtown next, stopped off at another sports card store which looked like it had heaps of stuff, but the place was just a mess. Not making this up, it's as if the guy just stacked up boxes in the store and couldn't be bothered doing anything else. The basketball cards were at the back and you weren't even allowed to go down that far, so I gave up on that. Walked uphill to Balboa Park which contains not only the famous San Diego Zoo but a whole bunch of other interesting stuff. There was some Mexican style buildings, a cactus garden, other gardens, fountains and international cottage park (no Australian cottage though). A surprisingly large amount of area dedicated for park land so close to the city.
