Ouch!

I guess I had a little too much sun yesterday, didn't realize it until I got up today. Was going to try surfing, but heard the waves were not good yesterday. Instead, I just got a boogie board from the hostel and went playing in the ocean. Simon, the Aussie, tried showing me and Peter, guy from Denmark, how to body surf. Just as I thought, it's very tough. Playing around in the water is a good workout, I was wore out by the end of the day.

Last night, I hung out with Mark and Collin from Manchester, Mike from Liverpool, Yves and Jasmine from Switzerland and Andre and Bernard from Germany. I love talking to all of these people and learning about all the different cultures. The guys from the UK introduced us to a game called "21", not blackjack. The game requires total concentration, I guess it's a very popular game in the UK. We had a lot of fun.

Tonight I'm going to the House of Blues downtown to see Xavier Rudd. I'm really looking forward to the show, I've never seen him before. Tomorrow, the hostel is taking a trip to Tijuana. I was going to leave tomorrow, but now I'm going to stay another day. I got an email from Bo, and we decided to meet on Friday instead of Thursday. So, I guess one more day in San Diego...damn the luck :)

Cheers,
Dough

P.S. Trying to upload photos, but Snapfish is having problems. I'll get them up soon.

Sounds awesome! Will you be joining the trip to Tijuana? I'm wondering if that entails 1 day or more. hmm... 21 is fun. Have you ever heard of Scopa? You should bring it up with the people from Europa. However, it does require a special deck. I was taught by a friend from Lithuania and it's awesome! I'll teach you when you get back. I check your site really frequently. I'm addicted to your adventure!

What's up Dough...It sounds like I would like sunny San Diego. We'll just have to 'agree to disagree' on the meaning of its name. Yeah, and that must suck to have to stay another day in San Diego just to go to Tijuana. I've heard they like to have some parties and drink tequila there....so be careful.
