San Jose, Santa Cruz, Santa Clara....
Hi everybody.... on my last morning in California for probably quite a while....my last few days in the Bay area have been great and my first official CS host SEB (www.couchsurfing.com/SEB) has been just amazing.... the sweetest guy ever.....
he came to pick me up from Jay's apartment in SAN FRAN on SUN morning and then we went to Santa Cruz for the day after a nice lunch at Santanta Row (www.santanarow.com)
cool drive, nice beach..... bit too busy and touristy down there, but was great.... ooh - and we even went to see the Surfing Museum...!!! See Annie, I'm doing some cultural stuff as well.... ;)
we met his friend Chris - very fun and friendly guy - on SUN night for some Flamenco shows in downtown SAN FRAN.... poor Chris got a bit sick off the muscles in his Paella but other than that the show, music, food and drinks there were great.... hhmm, the waiter and the flan maybe not.... but yeah - that's Silicon Valley for you, right...?? ;)
afterwards Seb took us on the most amazing Night-sight-seeing-tour of SAN FRAN that almost left me speechless.... (and that after I had already been in the city for 5 days...!!!)
but yeah - he knows some very cool spots there, for real.... and he even put the moon in the perfect place...!! ;) wow...
I also met Lorraine, another very nice friend of his, when he was remixing some music for her friend's dance- and fitness competition.... and got a 90mins picture and video presentation of his trips to Hawaii and Brazil.... pretty amazing...!! "Couchsurfing.com right there by THE LAVA...!!!" great..... I loved it...
during the days he let me use his Mum's computer, swimming pool, washing machine and even gave me his own bedroom... what an amazing host...!!
aaahhh - and he didn't even mind listening to the same song over and over again for 3 days and 2 nights.... ;) Gracias por todo Seb - you're the best...!!
I'm leaving from San Jose tonight to fly to Puerto Rico where I'll be arriving tomorrow (WED) afternoon and stay there for the Salsa Congress in SAN JUAN till SUN....
a bit sad at the moment, cause Carolina just told me that she won't be able to make it there this summer.... :( :( triste, triste..... it's just not gonna be the same and as much fun as last year without her and Carlos.... :(
oh well, but I will be seeing Larry and Aneta there again, so that's great.... !! and then just dance lots lots lots before I'm flying to Guatemala on Sunday...
okies.... gotta go now..... my last chance to enjoy the pool and sunshine here...!!
more news and pics again soon.... :)
