chasing rabbits stateside

San Diego was a pretty quiet weekend. I explored a battle ship (surprisingly interesting, if you ignore the whole macho thing that tends to go on), its kind of cool to do those things occassionally, I get to feel like a tourist for a while and just be led around instead of having to use my brain ! I went clubbing with an Ellen lookalike! Explored Old San Diego town, wandered the gas lamp district. My visit was completely unplanned and it felt like an odd side step, more about killing time while I avoided spending time in LA on my own than actually taking time to visit and explore the place properly, a bit of a shame really and no reflection on Jon or the city itself. I think my brain was doing weird things now I had reached the west coast, it still is. Part of me has slowed down a bit as I'm in California for a while, the urgency that comes with moving around every 3 or 4 days has gone, as a result I know I have to keep moving (I'm not sure if this is making any sense). Anyway, as a result of this strange situation I am doing a runner from San Francisco for a week instead of staying in town for the full 3 and a half weeks. on sunday I am travelling to Yosemite to stay at the Yosemite Bug hostel (back on Greyhound again (and I thought it was all over, good job I didn't have a ceremonial burning of my pass!), back on wednesday for 2 nights, and in the process getting a new tattoo - very excited about that - then back on the bus to Santa Cruz where I am going camping with Linda (another Hospitality Club member) and her family. I'm really looking forward to that, third time lucky with the camping I hope, although going camping the day after I have had my foot tattooed is probably an excellent example of poor diary scheduling !!!
