Staying Classy

You guessed it, I'm in sunny San Diego. For the record, it really doesn't mean whale's vagina...I asked a German. If you didn't get that, watch more movies.

After signing off last time, I ended up going out for the evening with Bo, the actor from Amsterdam. We had a good time hitting some of the pubs. He had never had a margarita, so of course we had to get one. On the way back that evening, we met some locals who lived down the street from the hostel and they invited us to hang out with them. We did, and ended up getting home pretty late. Bo and I are meeting up in Fresno on Thursday and are going to camp in Yosemite National Park. I'm really looking forward to that, Yosemite looks amazing.

The next day, we had to check out of Flagstaff and make our way to Phoenix. Mom flew out about 7 that evening. We took the scenic route out of Flagstaff to Sedona. I'm really glad we did that too, the landscape was beautiful. You need to look at the pics. We made it to Phoenix and I got mom to the airport. I got ahold of my friend Modeer and ended up going to his place after the airport. He lives in Mesa, about 20 minutes away. We went out that night for a bite to eat and of course that turned into a later night as well. Friday, Modeers brother set up some golf at the Biltmore Country Club for the three of us. This course was really nice. Paul Harvey lives on the course. So many multi million dollar homes around this course. I played horrible on the front and much better on the back. It was about 115 degrees when we teed off at about 3:00.
However, I hardly broke a sweat. The desert heat is so much better than all the humidity in STL. I would take 115 in Phoenix over 90 in STL. After golf, we came back and grilled up some carne asada and made fajitas. They were delicious! It was a very relaxing day, we were both pretty wore out.

I got up today and made my way to San Diego. When I left Phoenix it was 110 and when I got to San Diego, it was 70. What a difference 6 hours make. The hostel I'm staying at is right on the beach. I mean right on the beach, I can't believe it. This place is much different than the hostel in Flagstaff. This is much bigger and more of a party crowd. I'm in a co-ed room with 6 bunk beds. So far I've met about 4 guys from the UK, a guy and girl from Switzerland and 2 girls and a guy from Japan. They are all sharing the room with me. I'll let you know how it goes. I'm on the top bunk, right by the window. My view is the Pacific Ocean and this long pier. I think I could get used to this view.

Cheers,
Dough
