I tried surfing with my friend Chris and Katie. They are really good and well I just failed miserably. They are really good, me not so much.
I have also been on a lot of hikes recently. California has had some great weather this winter, minus a week or two. One of my favorite hikes was sandstone peak. It is extremely hard to get to. It is smack dab in the middle of the Santa Monica mountains. You have to take the windy but beautiful road up and over the mountains. Where you can only go 20 miles an hour and have to be careful not to gock at the beauty of the place because there are huge drop offs over the side of the road.
Then there was Halloween at DW. Yes the fountain is red, and yes there is a huge dragon head on the side of one of the buildings (oops ok there is no dragon head in this picture but there was one and it was very larrgge). Halloween was a huge deal where lots of people dressed up and there was a best costume competition. There were cotton candy and candy apple stands. Little kids running around trick or treating in the different buildings. It was great.
Next was Thanksgiving where I went home for a couple of days and visited my family and my friend Iuri who is finishing up his masters at Ohio state.
Then a month later I spent 2 weeks home which ended to be this crazy whirl wind of events. One of the best and most exciting things is my sister is getting married and we through her a wedding shower.
