Howard Johnson Hotel Davis

... Map. Cali, our calico, is happy to see us home.

... after attempting to book into a Motel 6 we finally got to sleep at approx 3am. The dood at the after hours window had a few issues and the computer and then printer decided not to play fair with him so took over 45 mins to book in. I reckon it was about 3-4 degrees too which is a bit of a shock to the system after ADL weather before leaving to come over.

What a day.....and that was all in less than 17 hours. What else are we in for in the next 40 odd days???

... 2 pm. Take I-80, I-680, 237, and arrive Sundowner Inn at about 3:15 pm.

A lovely day -- with an easy drive out to Sacramento, a good day visiting Sac State (which is a very pretty campus, especially this time of year, with the leaves changing), then an easy drive home. Definitely a long day, and I was exhausted by the end of it, but not a bad one at all.

... India in a rush. I felt sad and anxious. It was hard to say good bye to our friends for the past six months. At the airport we were laughing so hard to just stop from crying.
Since being back it was hard in the beginning for me. For Andrew, he said it was easy. He said that he wanted to stay in America for a long time and has no interest in going abroad. Of course a couple months ago I think he remembered his travel bug and started ...

... cheap...a lot of discounts on certain days and the campus is so much more relaxed than in Berkeley or SUSF. I found the most important things very easily...china buffet, art store...which is having a dangerously huge sale.. and groceries. 5 Feb 09 I've passed my first class in Antrophology in the United States of America. Discussion about situation in Israel. Wasn't noticed, wasn't active participant but ears all opened i listened and wasn't ...

... a much better idea for myself now. I'm glad I went to Nepal and proud of myself for trekking the Annapurna Circuit and to Everest Base Camp. Now every hike in comparison seems easy. I know that's something that I'll carry with me forever, I did that and it was amazing. Anyone tries to bring me down I have that accomplishment to fall back on. I feel like I can climb to the top of the world! India was a challenge for me, but now that I've traveled there and it ...

... Great food, great atmosphere. Since we were only a few hours from Davis we decided to keep driving and make it to John and Jana's (Chris' cousins) house. I am meeting so many of his family members I've never met before....its great. We arrived pretty late, just in time to go to bed so we could get up and do wine county the next day......Kara and Chris

Friends and Family! I took this time to go "home" (Davis home that is) to see my "Davis" family. And because my Davis family loves me like a real family, they are family. It was a nice return and good times. Both Heather and Bob (mom and dad) were/are still in the process of ...

... reached the bridge the fog had completely cleared and we had fabulous views of the bridge and (as we cycled over it) across to Alcatraz and the San Francisco skyline. We cycled on to Sausalisto, which is a funky little place & we enjoyed two fabulous ice creams before carrying on to a place called Mill Park, a fabulous collection of HUGE houses set amongst giant redwoods - an amazing place to live! We carried on to Tiburon, the other side of the ...
