This weekend the other interns and I decided to hit the road
and go on our first all-American road trip, leaving behind our cushy apartment
in San Diego (more on that later) to make our way up the Californian coast to
San Carlos for a barbecue with a few stops, and a motel stay, along the way. Despite
our excellent combined planning skills we somehow failed to anticipate the
ridiculous traffic heading into LA, even at our bright and early time of twelve
in the afternoon. Another thing we failed to anticipate was the dramatic
increase in temperature between San Diego and LA and as a result of our poor
judgement Jose and I divided the majority of the ride between melting into our
seats and trying to nap away the pain. A
few hours into the journey we decided to get some relief and headed to a sushi
place just off the freeway for lunch.
