今天去了San Diego～完成了我劃下美西的夢想：從Vancouver一路road trip到San Diego！！真是超帥的啦！
經由導遊小姐Carol的指點之下，我們到了美麗的Coronado島，先大搖大擺的逛飯店，又去買了超大坨的冰淇淋之後，就殺到海灘上去哩！
下面這隻鳥一定要好好介紹，實在是超有趣的一隻鳥喔！一剛開始我們剛好在吃冰淇淋，他就一直在旁邊巴巴的望，我們想說這鳥真是饞，想把他趕跑，結果這傢伙還是硬要跟上來，Angela用跑的追他，他竟然就這樣跑給他追～一點也不打算飛走唷！這下就好玩了，Angela追得越兇那隻鳥跑得越快，越不肯放棄！好一隻有骨氣的鳥啊！！哈哈哈！
人追鳥好玩歸好玩，最好玩的當然還是人追人啦！姑娘我不顧形象，兩腳一甩，光著腳丫開始追人踢沙子～真是太有趣了～本來吃冰吃到畏寒的身體，不一會兒又暖呼呼的啦！跑著跑著，抬頭一看，太陽已經漸漸的沈到海裡去了，這絕美的瞬間怎麼可以不好好收藏呢？拍下來的相片果然不令我失望，美呆了！San Diego果然是人間仙境～
經過了這一番激烈運動，肚子早就餓了，於是我們便出發去吃Tadashi Sushi，是all you can eat喔！物美價廉又新鮮，我們吃了比基本消費還多兩倍價錢的食物，吃得好飽好飽，飽到走不出店門口啦～真是太幸福了！
吃飽飽當然不可能立刻又坐回車上啦！散步才健康嘛～我們在街上蹓躂了一陣子，吹著涼涼的晚風，才開車踏入歸途～
一路上當然是很high啦～播著絕對過時的中文歌，大聲唱了起來，超過癮～下面這個像城堡的教堂是回家路上經過的，我們覺得很美，所以就繞去看看，後來才知道那是摩門教的廟，真是壯觀呢！拍了照，又很high的一路回到Riversude啦！
而我的旅程，就要在這麼high的氣氛下慢慢走向尾聲了，我的班機是凌晨三點多，一群人嘰嘰喳喳，互相提神，熬夜著一直到我走入候機室，才依依不捨的分別。
大概是因為冷門路線的關係，從Riverside到LA的機票其實是免錢的，不過那飛機也挺讓人一生難忘的，小小的迷你機艙只容得下二十個人左右，大家擠在一起，感覺好像是生命共同體一樣，尤其是飛機受引擎的震動，讓人覺得隨時要魂飛魄散一樣，有驚無險，平安到了LA，也順利的轉上飛往西雅圖(要去拿充電器)的飛機，我才有一種如釋重負之感。
San Diego
Santa Barbara
I woke up pretty early this morning, it is not easy to stay in a big dorm room with 12 other girls! I packed up my stuff, started my day. It was a couldy and windy day, some shower as well, but it didn’t make me stop, I love Santa Barbara no mater what.
San Francisco to Santa Barbara
i woke up very late this morning, it is raining very hard today, no point to go out. I spent all morning tidy up my stuff, because I got lots of school brochures need to be organized.
The rain stopped at noon, I packed up my things, walked to bus terminal. Too bad I couldn’t find any better resturant in that area, so I just had some hot con-gee as my lunch.
After all, I finally get here, the place Judy and I missed last summer–Santa Barbara.
I got here around 10pm at night, the street was still a lot of people, loud and dronk, just way too scary to walk by myself, besides, i have no idea where’s the hostel, it is too dark.
I end up with taking a cab, and it was the best choice! Not only because the hostel is far, but also there were lot’s of crazy people shoutting on the street. Another lucky thing comes to me, the charger! There was a girl using a mac as well, and she lets my use her charger during the night! It was great! Lucky me!
San Francisco
Here I am San Fran! After a long ride, I arrived San Francisco this morning. I mate a Chinese lady when I transfer the bus in Sacramental, she was very kind, but just way too over–she said she can guide me to my hostel, but we got lost in Chinatown, then I kinda realized that she only know how to get around the city from Chinatown…WTF.
Anyways, I finally got to the hostel, yeah, the one with funny elevator. I went to my first appointment at AAU in the afternoon, the school is fabulous! Especially the computer lab! It is whole floor! Crazy, isn’t it? I think I am falling for it.
The weather chill down a little bit in San Fran, after the school tour, I went to buy a blanket on my way back to the hostel, it is not fun to get a cold during the trip!
It is my lunch, since it is so famous, I most try it out.
I went to visit CCA this morning, it was a pleasant walk, although I realized it isn’t a good area in the south part of the city later. People on the street are way TOO friendly! They tried to talk to me, look at me, even propose(!?) to me…
Let’s get back to school, CCA is more focus on craft, if I am going to continue my clay doll stuff, it would be an ideal. The school campus is cool, just like a big factory, huge open space using pieces of boards to divide out some studio like unit, very unique.
I went back to AAU to do two more tours, I have a strong feeling that I am coming to study here for sure.
Portland to San Francisco
The life without a laptop is painful for me, though it is easier to walk around. It is a nice little walk from the hostel I am staying to downtown Portland, I wondered around the city in this cloudy day, kinda rainy too, but luckily it didn’t get me sock.
There were all kind of flowers in the city, very refreshing.
Portland is a very quiet city, not a lot of people around even in downtown. Most of the populations are students of Portland State University. I joined the tour and did a little bit of consolation after that.
Truthfully, I like Portland pretty much, and it is cheap too, altough the design studies aren’t that good, generally to say, PSU is just a very ordinary school.
I hop on the bus to San Francisco in the evening, it will be a very long ride.
