SB!!!

why would you NOT want to get on my bad side? because apparently i can be pretty mean. i threaten to leave people behind if they're not on time and to leave them on the shoulder of the road of hwy101 if they keep putting their feet on the car's arm rest. hmm... i must've eaten something bad. i'm usually not THAT mean. haha.

SB was fun, minus the traffic on the way back. everyone was right; it was just like a HUGE la jolla. except there was stearn's wharf where there was fish 'n chips galore complete with flocks of seagulls who want to share those things with you. we saw davy jones on his tinier boat... and we could've ridden that for free, had we been able to stay there a bit longer. the 90 minute trolley tour was conducted by "Red Eagle" who kept saying that the six of us (all filipinos) were just waiting for a good opportunity to jump him. why? i have no freakin idea. i guess we all looked like thugs? umm... yeah. anyway, i'm pretty sure he was kidding. at the end of the tour, we thanked and tipped him, the guy who said that among his people (the Chumash) he was a spiritual leader. :) downtown was nice. i looooooove crowded streets and being able to people watch. i wanted to stay there. :D
we also rented a double bicycle... one that has four pedals. that was fun and quite an exercise! on the way back to the rental we got lost and debated whether or not it was a good idea to just keep going with the bike onto the 101. good judgment prevailed and we grudgingly took the bike back where it belonged. it was a funny feeling to get off the bike and start walking. i still felt like i was pedaling and my legs felt shaky and weak. we walked ahead of RB and JG and next thing i knew there was a sound of a thump on the ground and water bottles scattering on the sidewalk. i turned around and realized that RB had attempted to get his picture taken while he was mid-air. it didn't occur to him that his legs probably would not be able to support him after the hourlong bike ride. so he was on all fours as we all cracked up, along with some bystanders on the boardwalk. aiyah... he was fine. but that was probably the most comical moment of the day.

and i will end this with that.

have a good tuesday,
