More About the Author

Judy Goldstein Botello was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, but came to California in 1969 after completing her medical training. There she raised her family and worked as a pediatrician. Her first published work appeared in 1986: a poem in the literary journal "The Southern Review of Literature." Her first book, "Adventures with Kids in San Diego," was published in 1991, followed ten years later by "More Adventures with Kids in San Diego," co-authored by Goldstein-Botello's daughter and field tested on her grandchildren.

A passion for Mexico, and years of travel through the Baja California peninsula, led to the creation of Goldstein-Botello's most acclaimed book, the travel memoir "The Other Side: Journeys in Baja California." Published in 1998, it is still a favorite of those who love the Baja California peninsula of remote beaches and hidden mountain ranches, the wild country unknown to the casual tourist.

In addition to her books, Dr. Goldstein Botello has written numerous magazine articles and book reviews. She lives with her husband in San Diego County.

This review is from: More Adventures With Kids in San Diego (Sunbelt Natural History Guides.) (Paperback)

I really enjoy using this book! I've had it for about a year, and I keep it handy for referring to whenever my kids suggest an outing. I know I can look any kid-friendly place up in one of the appendixes or the index and get directions, phone number, etc. Plus lots of info!
My sister-in-law is a teacher and I gave her a copy of the book--she uses it a lot , too! She uses it for field trip ideas for her 4th graders, plus fun weekend ideas for her and her two teenagers. It's a great ideas for a rainy day book, too.
