I left San Francisco and headed to Santa Barbara.It was 4.10am when the bus arrived to my destination and soon i figured out nothing was opened at that time, especially the hostel i booked the nite in.
I was walking along the rail tracks-for only few metres-and i met a man that because doesnt have a home himself was wondering around Santa Barbara like me. He told me the only place i should go was a cafe nearby that opens up at 6.30am.
so he walked me there and we had this great conversation about Britney Spears living up the hill from there, Neverland was also few miles away and all the politics about that snobby place that is full of avocados and fancy shops.
Santa Barbara, he was so right, wasnt great, but after the first nite i went to different villages around there and really liked the area.
Saturday night, after a long night travelling along the coast, i arrived at San Diego.
The hostel was in Ocean Beach and i really wished i went more often with Manuel to ride those Valencian waves and learnt how to do it..i ve never seen such strong and scary waves as the ones in Ocean Beach. We headed to downtown San Diego with a swedish guy that told us we should go to the bar where Top Gun-well, a scene from it- was shot.
So, there we were, trying to remember which scene it was..good old craic!!
Yesterday morning then, we decided to go south instead of going straight to LA, and we found a place 1 hour away from Tijuana, called El Sauzal, in Mexico where fish tacos are sold on the side of the street for something like $1 and where the waves are even higher and cooler than Ocean Beach.ah!
thats all for now.
besos from Mexico!!!
