Hey all. Today Jess' friend Kay took me down to Santa Cruz, it's only about an hour south from here. It was a sunny day so we went on some roller coasters, ate some "taffy", visited a flea market, watched a marching band competition and strolled up and down the main street .... oh and ate burrito's or course... so basically a lazy day in the sun. I can't get the damn photos to match up but here is Santa Cruz beach and the Carnival (Just imagine they were side by side).. Now I'm off for a night on the town as the train line closes usually at midnight, but tonight it is remaining open all night as the bay bridge is closed for road works. Oktoberfest tomorrow..... rrrrggghhhh I'm sure my next posting will be a photo of me I dont remember taking...
