Rain?

It just started raining. This is California. What the hell? Bug
says this is the second time it's rained here since he moved here in
January. I guess this is probably what it's like in Seattle right
now. Haha!

Camping by the beach

We camped by the beach last night. It was cold and windy. Roasting
marshmallows was fun though! Slept terribly. The wind was so strong
that it kept flattening the tent and it kept hitting me on the head.
Bug and I woke up first, so we moved his car and hid from the others
until they woke up. His car was their ride home.

I'm recording a song with Bug. Guitar, mandolin, bass and vocals. It
should turn out pretty good. He's whining about the calluses on the
tips of his fingers from playing so much.

Beach again

Orestimba

Headed south again. I-5 on the left and the California Aquaduct on
the right.

Boba

There is this place called Lollocup that serves drinks with boba.
Boba is basically little balls of tapioca that people put in their
coffee, tea, and fruit juice. Kind of has the consistency of gummy
bears. Pretty good.

My friend Tara has been putting together a shadowcast of the Rocky
Horror Picture Show. I got to see them rehearse last night. I'm
going to stay in Stockton one more night, then I'm heading to Lompoc
to visit Bug.

South Again

My family woke up this morning at four in order to get to the airport
in time for their flight at six. We did a lot in the week that they
were out here.
:) But I'm kind of bummed that they're gone. :(

It's been sunny every day that I've been in California. I'm in
Stockton today visiting my friend Tara. I think I'm going to rest for
a few days and try to figure out where to go next.

Yesterday we went to see some Redwood trees. Those are some tall
trees! A few were over 300 feet tall. And over 1500 years old. They
towered over all the other trees. Too hard to take photos of though.

City by the bay

We spent the night in San Francisco last night. We went by Lombard
Street earlier today. That's the street that winds back and forth
down the hill for one block. Now we're at the Golden Gate Bridge.
Those cables on it are huge! They're almost a mile and a half long
and almost three feet in diameter. We could also see Alcatraz from
several spots in the city. San Francisco is both hilly and windy.
