California is fun

One of the neat things about the Mountain View office is that I can do my laundry for free. Unfortunately, there are not enough laundry machines. So I'm up rather late but uninterested in being productive. Hence, a blog entry! I had quite an exciting weekend. On Saturday, I drove to Santa Cruz and went running on Seacliff Beach. Finding beaches to run on is actually rather tough...the long stretches of sand sounded appealing, but it turns out that there was a lot of dodging of tide, people, and kelp involved. Nothing has quite matched running at Myrtle Beach. On Sunday, I went bike riding across the Golden Gate Bridge. Here's a tip: get a Bay City Guide from any of the vendors at Fisherman's Wharf and then use the $5 off coupon plus the price-match guarantee to get a $20 rental from Blazing Saddles. We also saved a bit by parking farther out and taking a street car. In any case, I can see why people like California. And happy post-birthday Vince!
