WEEEEEEEEEE, it's not so hot today!!!
Spent a lovely weekend in Aptos!! It was especially nice because it's generally 10 degrees cooler - no heatwave there!
Friday evening we ate dinner at Aqui's before driving over to Aptos. Saturday we went to the coffee shop, then Scott went to visit his daughter and I stayed home reading and reading and reading, for Shakespeare and Mythology.
Sunday Scott had kung fu classes all day so I took my books to the BEACH! WHOOOOOO, I need to study that way more often! And guess what, I saw DOLPHINS!!! And SEALS!
I have seen dolphins swim by at the beach before, but much further away. If anyone reading this knows where the "cement ship" is, that's where I was, and the dolphins were swimming by just at the end of the cement ship. But I have NEVER seen seals swimming all around where people are. I have seen them all over the rocks in Monterey, but never in Santa Cruz. But Sunday one came up about five feet from the sand, stuck his head out of the water and just looked at us all for a while! Then I saw a different one swimming down the beach, stopping every so often to look at the swimmers, and then later there was a group of FIVE seals that all popped their heads up to watch us! It was amazing - and something so few people get to see, I felt really lucky to be able to see such a sight.
That evening we went to El Palomar for scallop and prawn tacos, and margaritas, and SO YUMMY MOJITOS!!! Omigosh, believe it or not I have only had a mojito made once from a mix - this one was very hand made from scratch, and it was possibly the most delicious thing I have ever drank. YUMMMMMM.
Then we went to the theater to see "War", and let me save you $10 - This movie was crap. I love Jason Statham, and Scott loves Jet Li... but the movie was crap.
This morning we watched "The Painted Veil" on DVD - now THAT was a good movie. I never would have picked it myself, but I really loved it.
Then we had a great breakfast at the Red Apple Cafe... and then I had to come home. However, the heat wave seems to be over (WOOOOO)! It is still very warm, but just regular hot, not stupid hot.
Okay, that's enough for now. Tomorrow - School and work, yay. Heh.
