BUT I STILL CAN'T FIND CALI SUBS
My lady friend has come to California and we've been busy...
We were walking around the famous San Francisco tourist trap Fisherman's Warf. There's t-shirt stores, an Alcatraz gift shop and the obligatory icecream vendors. But behind the street performers pretending to be metal statues was something totally unexpected. Homeless people usually have homeless dogs. But we saw a bored hobo using nail polish to paint his labrador's claws pink! And then we saw the bum also had another dog, which also had painted nails. It was like the littlest hobo was a little vain after all.
We also went for surfing lessons. It wasn't nearly as difficult as I expected to be and I almost got a full 2 seconds standing up! Surfing is the most exotic of the board sports to people in Regina because ocean waves are so hard to find in Saskatchewan. But snowboarding is the most exotic of the board sports in San Jose because mountains are so hard to find in Saskatchewan.
You know how San Francisco has lots of hills? Well we were halfway up a really big one and we saw a guy going 50km/h downhill out of control on a skateboard. We were crossing the street and we had to run out of his way to avoid getting hit by him, just like people do when there's out of control cars in the movies.
There's this waterpark in San Jose with a waterslide that's a total toilet. You go down a slide and then there's this giant bowl with spiralling water and it's awesome. Jodie and I went around the hole five times before finally getting sucked down the pooper. Note that this was a feces-free giant toilet.
And finally today we went to Santa Cruz and went body surfing. Body surfing is really just playing in the water, but you try to get the wave to carry you. It's really fun but you end up getting quite beaten by the gigantic waves. You also get to make a funny shape with your body to point yourself up to best ride the wave. You kind of look like a dolphin doing a dumb trick! Which reminds me that we saw a wild otter doing backstroke in the water near us. They're cool because they have mustaches.

My brother scratched his back up but good on that toilet bowl part one time. Cool concept though.
Surprised you actually listened to the whole thing, didn't think you'd have the interest in that book, no explosions or time travel, just insites into an autistic boy. If you enjoyed it, you might want to try "The Life of Pi" it was ok too, also no explosions, although there is a tiger.
