Our 30th Wedding Anniversary today! Had a lie in and then started the next leg of the journey. Thank goodness for AAA route planner, got us on the road really easily, think I would like a Sat Nav if we did it again though. Stopped at a view point on the way which was swarming with ground squirrels. They were fun to watch. Arrived at San Diego which again was nothing like i had imagined, it is so vast. In England if you arrive in Brighton, that’s what you find - the town, the beach, here there is town, town and more town and beach, beach and more beach! Had a job finding our hotel, it was all very confusing. Staying at Holiday Inn Mission Plaza, which is a bit like the Travelodge but not as ... read more

...Men heldigvis forlader jeg ikke helt Cali endnu:) Jeg kan slet ikke forstå det.. nu skal jeg snart forlade det som har været mit hjem de sidste 5 måneder! Jeg er virkelig blevet det man kalder godt gammeldags forelsket i denne by - og generelt bare Californien! Jeg synes ikke 5 måneder går så hurtigt hjemme i DK, men her er de bare fløjet afsted. Jeg har set og oplevet utrolig mange ting og jeg har ALDRIG fortrudt at jeg tog herover. Jeg ville ønske jeg kunne blive længere, men pligterne kalder hjemme og i DK og selvfølgelig savner jeg også familie og venner utrolig meget. DK er trods alt mit hjemland, men San Diego er helt klart blevet mit andet hjem:)! Idag har jeg min allersidste final og det er lidt mærkeligt at det er ... read more

This is for 17th-19th. On Saturday we all got up and went to a local restaurant near the beach. Fish tacos apparently is the big signature food around here, I went with that. I agree with JK's philosophy that it pays to do the best with what you have available but not in a worrisome way - was good. Also got an Acai fruit smoothie, only my 2nd time or so having that. After that, stopped by a little farmer's market grocery store, picked up some vegetables, fruit, steaks and turkey legs for me. We spent the next couple hours cleaning up the house - floors were all sticky from the beerfest friday night. After that we had the cookout. Later we sort of watched beerfest but everyone dozed off, we all took a little nap, ... read more

After the appointment with Sheldon, I went back to Andrei's and we wrapped everything up. Andrei told his parents what the weights were I brought - kettlebells, funny hearing them called by their native name, Girya in full communication. Headed out at about 4, probably the most interesting part of the drive was a little ways west of El Centro, the terrain gets mountainous and the road winds around going upwards for a few miles, then is just this massive slope for another several miles. Rinse and repeat for 30 or 40. That was the only time in my drive that other people were driving faster than me, I guess my car has some limitations there. When I got to San Diego, I started feeling good pretty quick. I got to the street and it was ... read more

Hvad skal vi fejre idag...? Fødselsdag på Santa Rita + midterm Denne uge er en stor fest! Igår var det Mayas fødselsdag og det blev fejret på bedste manér! Vi startede med at stå op kl. 6 om morgenen, for at lave morgenmad. Der blev skåret frisk frugt og lavet amerikanske pandekager. Vi vækkede hende med dansk fødselsdags sang, danske flag og gaver:) Det var en super hyggelig morgen med god mad, en glad fødselar og generelt en rigtig god stemning. Vi var ca. 7 samlet til morgenmad. Desværre skulle nogle af os i skole, og skulle derfor nå en bus kvart over 8. På vej mod skole prøvede vi ihærdigt at læse i vores noter til vores midterm senere på dagen. Vejret var skønt, optil 27 grader - så det var egentlig meget varmt. Men ... read more
