California in Review

Well, I’m back and I crazy do not want to be. California was awesome. We went to San Fransisco (parking was atrocious), which was about as far as DC is from here. We went to this place that I dubbed the “Planequarium” as it had a planetarium, aquarium, museum, artificial rainforest and a museum thing. It was pretty rad. I also got to see all of the big computer software companies’ buildings like McAffee, Yahoo, and Google. Taquerias are awesome, by the way. For those of you who do not know about Taquerias are these little taco places that have legit Mexican tacos and burritos. The one we went to also had Mexican Coke, which has sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. It was all really sweet.

On Saturday, we went to one to the beaches. That was not so awesome. It was cold and windy and it smelled like gross. Oh, and we also had to climb down onto the beach on this odd little path that was carved into the cliff. Afterwards, we went to this better beach. for anyone who has seen The Lost Boys, it was that beach. The problem was, the boardwalk was kind of lame and closed early (right before I could get funnel cake), had a dead sea lion on the beach, and there were no Vampires.

The biggest difference I found was that California does not have speed traffic cops (there were a few but not nearly compared to Maryland). This may the reason for why so many people do not know how to drive in California! Even so, it was weird not worrying about if the cops are there with a radar gun.
