Friday, September 26: Visit to Bodega Bay

Hello after A wonderfully exhaustive sleep last night we got up at around 10:00 AM and went to a breakfast place called something. The food was very good. The service was quick but the problem was we had a very grumpy waiter because there was no coffee 


station so for anything like extra sugar or milk or cream you had to request it from a waiter or waitress well we had this old guys like my age who seemed to really inconvenience that he had to get us



 stuff and it was really kind of exhausting and a pain in the ass. Saying that the food was delicious and like I said before the food came very quickly so after that, we headed out to Bodega Bay, which was about 40 minutes


away from Healdsburg where we had breakfast. It was a really nice drive. It’s so much better to drive these roads in the daytime than it is in the middle of the night when you’re exhausted like I was 


last night. So we went to first went to Bodega Bay or parts of it were the scene from Alfred Hitchcock the birds and the school and church were still there but the school is now owned a private hand so you can’t go in it, but you can look at it from the outside. It was


really beautiful weather out and we went to a couple stores that were really very groovy the owners of the place or the people working that were very nice and we’re very conversational. We both really enjoyed that. We then we 


went to Bodega Head where it was a lot more craggy not grumpy craggy. The scenic vistas from the Pacific Ocean were so cool we couldn’t get enough of. The water looks very rough. I wouldn’t

go in it, but there were a couple people with their kids swimming on
one of the beaches. It was kind of scary. There were a lot of rocks and it was a bit breezy, but they
couldn’t complain about the weather. It was absolutely beautiful. Speaking of beautiful, we went to Goat Rock Beach ! What is spectacular view that was. One rock had a huge hole right in the middle of that. You could
drive a boat through. It was pretty stunning. I must say. On the way back to our home base in Healdsburg, we went by town called Monte Rio, which was really cute. I’d really wanna go back there 
because we were gonna go to the Armstrong State Forest with the weed woods, but we didn’t have time to really give it the time it deserves so 

we just hung out in Monte Rio and got a pizza slice and a bunch of drinks which was really good. We’ve been set out to go back to 1705 Latigo Lane in Healdsburg California. It’s a nice drive back
a lot of scenery, etc. it’s a lot more fun to drive during the day that it is in the evening. The streets are very dark. And you have, we got back and
 we decided we needed a nice half hour quick nap and that’s what we did. That was really good then I go to my super coffee that I had left and got changed for the wedding rehearsal party that

 was held. They had your wedding rehearsal early in the day that started at 10 AM this was just the effort to party. Man they had quite a spread there. Oh my God there was so much food. There was a formal dinner. It was
more like self-serving charcuterie, and stuff like that. They have a really nice house. It goes all the way in the back in the backyard is very large. Do you have an area where they spread out of carpet 
too comfortable couches. My main meal of the day was homemade tacos where they had the taco shells and the ingredients we just made and taco. That was quite tasty. We did talk to Mary brothers
topics range from peptides to Mary’s mother’s death and last days. Is very all very interesting for sure. We stayed there till about 9:30 PM. We decided to head 

back with some leftover sliders and go back to the home base at 1705 Latigo Lane in Healdsburg. Overall, it was quite an eventful day that’s for sure

Thursday, July 24: Sleeping Inn at Poway


Last night we ended up watching a British crime drama called Dept Q. We ended up staying up half all night watching nine episodes
 of the first season. It basically the whole entire first season. I’m actually headed to it because my brother Mike recommended 


it to us so Mary and I started watching it and Alice fell asleep to Mary and I just barely stayed
up late enough to watch 
it. We went to bed around 5 AM. Got up around 10:30 AM at breakfast and then took another nap and then we went to the Starbucks and 


then House picked us up to go to Home Depot. We got some stuff for the party . Mostly Flowers and then went to get extra keys

 for her new lot she just got installed this week. We are watching now burn after reading. It’s a Coen Brothers movie with really famous actors.
 George Clooney, Francis McDormond, and Brad Pitt the name a couple. as I required did see this movie before, but it’s really fun to watch again. After that, I chow down 

and Alice’s delicious curry, vegetables and rice. House and I then watched

 a movie called shimmering Lake and that was really suspenseful. 

It was only 83 minutes, but it was very suspenseful. I’d like to watch it again if I can watch it. We watch it on Netflix. Tomorrow is the day all the wedding festivities start since the wedding is on Saturday and tomorrow is Friday.

Thursday, March 27: Alachua. Newberry Yoga.


Today we woke up at the Hilton pretty well rested. We decided after asking if there are any breakfast places they listed two waffle 

houses and this other place that we went to that was really wonderful. breakfast place called Terry’s Grill in North Jacksonville. It was only 10 minutes from the hotel. It was a good southern place. They had excellent 

breakfast food. They had grits too and all kinds of different eggs and home fries and hashbrowns, etc. I had a big stack of pancakes, big water, sausage, and a side order egg and it was totally delicious and

 the coffee was pretty good too when we left the place ran to a really nice woman who owned hair salon while she wasn’t the owner but an employee at his hair salon and we talk to her for about half hour yakking it up 

and talking about what Jacksonville looks like etc. and we even talked about the Eagles and the Jaguars. It was very nice. It’s one of my highlights is talking to local people. It’s really 

fun. We then drove for an hour and a half and we just arrived at the Alachua Hampton Inn at 3 o’clock. Now we’re looking for laundromats because this hotel

 does not provide laundry. Laundromat nearby and that was good. This place has an app and looks like it might be a good choice. Then we went to Newberry yoga early and got the lay of the land from

 Kaitlyn and her husband. They give us a grand tour of the facilities. Their house is beautiful and they built it from scratch just like they built the studio from
scratch. They have a whole bunch of land and they did a nice job with it all. The studio has a really nice shower. I mean it’s a luxurious shower. 


They were put time and money in that one. We then went to class with with Shannon and there was three of us, Mary and I another dude where that dude made all these breathing noises and 

that would not fly at HYP for sure but I didn’t want to be non-organic and 

yogurt and make faces at the teacher so I didn’t. But it would not 

fly in any of the teachers at Hot Yoga Philly if she start making all these breathing

 noises and shit. But the class was good. The room was hot as fuck. Anyhow

, afterwards we talked to Kaitlyn and then we headed to a Mexican restaurant

 which happened to be close by and open till 10 o’clock. We almost 

missed dinner. But it was a nice time today. We’re back again for an 830 class tomorrow

 morning so we have to get up very very early. We hope to hit the 
Tq
minerals stream and then hit the laundromat along with the Florida’s favorite supermarket, which I’ve totally forgot the name of.
