Cool Thing? Hiatus and Hummus

I've been gone from the Blog for sometime now. I was traveling the world. I'm back now. I have many Cool Things and Thoughts to report about. Also, I love hummus. That is all.

Cool Thing: July 4th 2010 (and the day before)

I finally made it to Mexico. It's been a long time coming. I've attempted a couple of times but my plans of crossing that oh so lovable bored into TJ were always foiled. Not so this time! Some friends and myself headed down to Ensenada, Baja and La Bufadora. La Bufadora is this naturally occurring "geyser" on the coast. The trip was short, but we had a good time. We stuffed ourselves with fish tacos, saw a movie in Spanish, and slept in the most sketch place I've ever stayed! Seriously, La Delphin Hotel out did all the spots in Europe and Central America that I've slept at, as the most likely place to get a disease and/or killed. But hey, it was cheap. And anyone that knows me knows that I love a good deal.

Side note: One really funny thing that happened, the attendant at the dive-of-a-hotel was trying to split the four of us up into two different rooms but we were having it. He didn't understand why, because we were going to save money by doing so. Now, I don't speak a lick of Spanish, but as Derek was trying to explain to him why we want to be together, he felt the need to "reassure" the owner that we weren't "homosexuals." Probably the funniest reaction I've ever seen.

Cool Thing: San Diego!

San Diego! Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which of course in German means... I'm sorry, I was trying to impress you. I don't know what it means. I'll be honest, I don't think anyone knows what it means anymore. Scholars maintain that the translation was lost hundreds of years ago. Agree to disagree.

I'm finally here! Though, I'll probably be moving in a couple of weeks. This place is paradise. For all of you that live here year-round, I envy you. For all of you back in Utah, suckers!!! Haha

Cool Thing: Mesa in March

I spent this last weekend in Arizona. Paradise. Honestly, when I left Provo, it was snowing at 5 a.m. and it was hard to believe that weather in March could actually be lovely--enter Arizona. Blue skies, 75 degrees, 8,000 sqft Villa, helicopter rides, and the most alluring aroma ever, orange tree blossoms! I was sitting on the balcony reading, over looking an orchard of these trees and the scent of those blossom wafting across the back side of the Villa was intoxicating.

March + Mesa = Mecca!

The only downer being of course this terrible cold I had. I say "this" because it still hasn't gone away. Though it was pretty entertaining trying to introduce myself to people with absolutely no voice whatsoever. I have MTV to thank for that.
