Outdoor Delight
today was a glorious day of outdoor adventuring. i mean i had class but it got postponed and then canelled due to a guest speaker scheduling conflict, but anyway, i had the rest of the day to have outdoor adventures. i could have been job hunting more but honestly, today was just what i needed.
so here is what i did:
FIRST i met laurie for some hiking. i just learned today that the hike i did yesterday with megmeg and trina was 5 miles. laurie and i hiked that but more....so we probably hiked 6 or 7. THEN i got to go to SANTA CRUZ. let me tell u...i have been wanting to go there for months....it was a last minute invite from kristy and so i grabbed up megmeg and we got ourselves to the ocean. upon returning from the warmth of beachland, megan and i delighted in some delicious chicken salad dadup made. then we went for a bike ride. we stopped for some chai tea and pastries and then rode for a long time....visiting old memories by riding to our old elementary, junior high, and high school campuses. we even ran into a family i babysat for while i was in highschool. we also neglected to practice "safety first" as it got dark and we had no lights or reflectors on our bikes....dumb i know. we should be grounded.
all in all it was a wonderful day. laurie and i were discussing jobs and my lack of success in finding a steady summer one. laurie asked what i do on the days i don't have to work...and i said, well, i go to class but then i just want to be outdoors all the time. and i really do. when i hike, i just want to keep going. i'd like to take up more outdoor activities as well. such as learning to surf and trying to do some kyaking. and i hope hope to ride WAY more bikes if i can.
there u have it. a great fun day. hoorah! hooray.
