Last day of our surreal life
Some have asked for a map of my trip, and I can only say: Go to google maps, type in "San Francisco". From there (you can drag the map around with your mouse) take highway 1 all the way to San Luis Obispo, then take the 101 north all the way back. That was my trip.
Every vacation is surreal. That's the conclusion I came to in San Francisco. Next time I visit a city, I'll rent a house for two weeks or a month and "live" there. It's the only way to get a glimpse of the reality of a place. Otherwise, you just visit the tourist spots with hundreds of them, eat at the same overpriced places and miss out on a lot. I'm sure San Francisco is a great and fun city to live in. But being a tourist, I find it a little boring.
What is there to do here? The aquarium, the shops by the water, the parks, the museum. Sigh... boring! It's like that in every city in the world.
So this is our last day in Arnold's state. We fly back home at 12:30am tonight. That's right, a red eye flight. We'll be so pooped tomorrow! I have to say though that I liked this vacation a lot. San Luis Obispo was great, Monterey was great, the road was amazingly beautiful, the wine country was... hmm... tasty!
The highlight of my trip was definitely San Jose and Silicon Valley, where we knew some friends. They showed us the reality of their lives and I'm jealous. I want to live there. Everybody there is like me, a computer geek! They all work at Apple, Google, Yahoo!, eBay, Cisco, and more. They all hang out together and share ideas. They all eat at Apple's or Google's free cafeteria. And when they have an idea, they start a business. Some people told me that Silicon Valley was ugly. Its not true, don't listen to those people. Of course, if you compare it to San Luis Obispo, it is. But then Corpus would be ugly compared to the prettiest piece of paradise in Hawaii. But hey, Corpus is beautifully to me.
If you are in San Jose one day, visit the Winchester Mansion. It's crazy! 166 rooms, thousands of stairs and doors, only one shower, 4 floors. The lady that built that house kept building to appease the spirits of those killed by a Winchester riffle, produced by her husband's company. I also went to the Ozzfest and I saw Ozzy sing with Black Sabbath. Amazing! Amazing... enough said.
San Francisco is crazy. Every piece of land is built upon and their is no room left for anything. It seems like everywhere is downtown, buzzing with activity and tourists walking here and there. Let me show you some pictures. I'm tired of writing.
All right, that was my trip in California. I enjoyed it, enjoyed writing it and I hope you enjoyed reading this blog. I plan to continue to write now and then about my life. So if you think your life sucks and enjoy reading about mine, visit this page often!
See ya!
