Santa cruisin'
From Merry go round' the World in Santa Cruz, United States on Aug 18 '06
T minus 14 days and counting!!
Well I leave Ca in a week, and I leave USA in 2 weeks. Getting kinda antzy (but in a good way ofcourse)
My dear brother Craig came to visit so we decided to head to Santa Cruz. Wendie made some scrumptious pancakes and then we were off! When we left our bellies were stuffed, but by the time we got there we were some starvin' marvins. We decided to walk to find food away from the board walk because $8.00 for a 1/2 assed hamburger?? Homie don't play dat':) We ended up walking for what seemed like hours, it was probably more like a half an hour but my stomach made it seem longer. We ate some delicous Thai food. We must have looked like some wild animals feeding though, nobody spoke... it was like "Can't talk, eating."
We made our way back to the boardwalk and went on the old rickety rollercoaster. I do love a good rollercoaster. After that we ate saltwater taffy and watched the surfers, sailboats, and sealions. Why is it that the ocean is like an instant meditation. You don't even have to try to quiet your thoughts. It's like being in the presence of something so large just pushes the "off" button on your head.
Then we walked down the beach. Some kid there just dropped trow and started peeing into the ocean. The mom was telling him to stop, but at the same time videotaping it. I expect to see that one on America's funniest videos eventually. We headed back to the car and I climbed a tree... I need to do that more. Ahhhh summer.
