This weekend, some of the interns (Gary and Armen) did sightseeing throughout the California area and clocked in almost 170miles. Almost all the places I went to I already went last year, except Watsonville which is some obscure town south of Santa Cruz. We passed pigeon point lighthouse again, but didn’t stop by. Here is the route we took for some beautiful scenery on Saturday :

iPod much beloved once you get on the road near the trees/mountains and the reception gets very poor to listen to anything other than hee-haw music. When we arrived in Half Moon Bay, we stopped at a beach for a bit and Armen went for a dip in the freezing Pacific water. Gary managed to get a shot of Armen’s “Baywatch moment”. I was cold with a light jacket on, I can’t imagine how bad it must have been for him.
We also made a stop at a vista point to look over the landscape and seascape. It was actually quite beautiful. A few of bugs hit our windshield and made a squishy sound.
Today, on Sunday, we met with Anthony and did some San Francisco sightseeing. The route we took can’t be plotted on google maps properly because of one-way streets. But here is the best I could do :

We walked around, a lot. To the point where it was shorter for Anthony to walk home rather than go back to the van with us. The trip back was long when you have to climb steep hills. We also passed the crooked road that SF seems to be famous for. We were going to go down, but the lineup of cars was huge and didn’t seem worth it.
I have pictures of both adventures. I just want to upload them to the website. Stayed tuned for pics.
Both trips were a lot of fun, but very exhausting. The exhausting part doesn’t make it feel like a weekend. We’re already planning the next weekend! So I guess I’ll have to rest on the weekdays ;)
Update 1: I upload our San Francisco pictures.
