Real Human Moments

After a long drive through the blistering heat (118 degrees) of southern Arizona, New Mexico and California we arrived at the oasis of San Diego (75 degrees). We drove right to our hostel the USA Hostel in downtown San Diego where we grabbed a much needed shower and dinner. The cute check in lady seemed to be quite proud of telling us that the bathrooms were COED, as if we were gonna freak out or something?

Anyways they had a free keg of Heineken in the party room so we took advantage of that  before heading out to my buddy Soop’s (Matt). He lives in the Pacific Beach area so we hopped in our car and took off like we knew where we were going and actually arrived at his place before the fireworks. From there we Tom and Jerry’d it to his friend Tom’s place were they were having a limbo contest in his lawn with all the cute girls walking back from the beach. We then proceeded to light off some big mother fireworks in the road to everyones enjoyment.

Eventually we made our way back to the hostel, hung out for a bit and proceeded to pass out.

The next morning we began our trek up to Quincey California via the scenic route. We passed through all the famous beaches of southern California such as Long Beach, Malibu and Ventura. After leaving the more populated areas and getting onto Route 101 the scenery was jaw dropping. The highway winds along the coast with amazing cliffs or vistas looking right into the pacific. Going through areas like Los Padres National Forrest and Cambria afforded similar sights. As night fell we made our way up into the mountains of Big Sur and had dinner right on the beach in one of the valleys. There were  plenty of cliff side restaurents and cabins, I’d really like to take a few days camping or staying in that area.

Stay tuned for photos,
