LA&ACCD

Posted in Travel, Overall, RPCV by Dom on October 28th, 2008

Hory Clap, I’m back. In GA that is. Just got back from LA. It was surprisingly cool. Of course that could be because of the short length of my trip and the locations I was, but who cares, I liked it. Jenn’s doing great. Except that whole number 2 business…hehe. The first day we just went for a ride on the boardwalk and Jenn made a dinner of tortellini alfredo. Good good stuff. The next day we actually went to the beach and hung out. Water was quite cold. Like one of those backwoods streams you find in the winter. I made her get in with me though, it was nice having company! Hit up some cool restaurants that day too, fish tacos and crab cakes and the like. Friday we checked out the Art Center. Cool school, however I was an idiot about visiting and didn’t make an appointment with the dept. chair and he wasn’t there. It really shook up my views of what I want to do and what I expect form a school. Then again, I think it’s pretty cool a visit to a place can do that. We went to Jenn’s parents house that evening after a very late lunch at Panera bread. Jenn’s dad made some pretty good steaks for dinner and we just went to bed. It was a long day. Saturday morning we went wake boarding. I’m still sore. Sergio came, yes that one. Serdhyo. It was a lot of fun, we were out there all day pretty much. I got a jump off and superman face-planted straight into the water. It was pretty awesome. Later that day there was a little party and a lot of family friends came over. I got to meet a lot of people and they got to meet me. I had brought some skupernong wine (I doubt I spelled that right, that’s just a kind of white muskadine though). It was a big hit. The next day we went to Disneyland! Jenn has a friend that dances in the Lion King section of the play. As a tiger…Yeah. It was cool though. I had never been to the land before and it was a lot of fun. Didn’t make it to the Tiki room though. Apparently one of Jenn’s favorites; however we did do the tea cups! Heck yes. I ate over half of this obscenely huge pizza there too. It’s a bit sickening to think of, but I couldn’t stop. It was good and the first pizza I’ve had back. Overall it was a great time and it was great seeing Jenn again and meeting those friends. That school really intrigues me.
