Crikey, I’ll have been back in the US for two weeks this coming Sunday but already it feels like I’ve been here alot longer. So far I’ve managed to get sunburnt, flood a Reverend’s toilet, spend an evening on a booze cruise courtesy of Reef and eat myself almost sick at EZ-J’s. I’ve taken a raft of photos although I haven’t gotten around to sorting and uploading most of them yet, although there’s a few recent ones of Steve Woodward here that are pretty rad, and I’ll have some surfing ones up soon.
Currently I’m in Oakland (Bay Area, right near San Fran and Berkeley) staying at Taylor’s mom’s place (which is siiiick!) for the weekend as he’s up here on some family business. We drove up yesterday from LA after staying the night in Hollywood courtesy of a friend of ours, and the drive up along the PCH around sunset reminded me how beautiful this part of the world is. I was supposed to spend today in San Francisco but dodgy guts and poor directions meant that it didn’t happen – so far. I think the plan for the weekend is to get in a load of riding at various parks, maybe some trails, and of course plenty of booze although I’m hoping to do some touristy stuff as well in Berkeley and SF. It feels like lifetimes ago since me, Wes and Ben were in this area in 2000….
Not much else to report on so far. The drama back home in Blighty is pretty grim, good luck to Fletch on getting himself home with the minimum of hassle. More updates with some photos soon!
