California Dreaming…

Well, well, well. I’m sat here wondering how the heck I got sunburnt today. I think it’d be the 6 hours of walking I did.

Amy’s hot tip for the day: Golden Gate Park is MASSIVE.

So today I ventured the furtherest out of tone I’ve gone yet. (And going to go given i leave Monday).

I wanted to go check out the park – and everything inside it. Theres windmills and lakes and playgrounds and all sorts of crazy stuff. On my way i realised that the beach was right near by! So… I ended up at the beach.
So the beach here is like brown. The girls in my dorm (English/German) told me it was so beautiful! Crazy. But it was cool, there was like no shops or anything. Just beach, the road and the park or houses and stuff. There was even surfers and people surfing. I asked one dude if he was really going to go out and he looked at me weird like I didn’t know what surfing was. Little did he know – there was no surf! Crazy man.

So i trekked through the park for hours (didn’t quite think it would take this long) and found the museum in the middle and a bunch of other crap. The park itself is lovely. Its such an oasis too… The bus I caught goes right through the burbs to get there and then in the middle of concrete city theres this massive park. Kinda nice.

So once I finished my wonder… I realised I’d have to go all the way back to where I came from to go my second park to see the Legion Art Gallery! Spewing hey… so I walked more more and then bused and walked up this massive hill – theres a few of those here.
The Gallery was nuts – Rodin’s “Thinker” is there and if you dunno what that is then google it!! ‘Cause ya should! They actually have heaps of Rodin. Van gough was there toooo and more Picasso and Monet!

Yeah. I’m so exhausted. We went out on a ‘pub crawl’ last night. $2 vodkas and beers. The vodkas come with these cute as tiny little straws. But apparently they get you more wasted than a normal straw. Do not as me why. I have no idea. Ask someone who does. People had balloons and i picked one up of this table as we walked by and nobody said anythign. So i had a flower for much of evening! I made a good Canadian friend who said he’d take me out and bout when I’m in Toronto!! Wee and he reckons I’ll get work easy :) Yay!

It was a good night tho’ made some friends! We were planning to go to hooters!! I was quite excited. But it looks like we’re not! (Damn English are weeeak!). But we’re going to the ‘renegade’ (thats what the girl who knows about it called it) haloween gig tonight. Very excited! Doesnt start till 4am tonight tho’ and they have daylight saving here tonight so we loose an hour! Craaaazy.

So yes, I might sleep before we go out again tonight!!! Not much else to report. i’m uploading to flickr so I figured I’d post.

Farewell World!!!
