Gala Weekend

Saturday :

One of my friend here, Elliot called me over to his place. So I head there.. and then he says we should check out the ocean. So we go in his convertible and man o man what a ride it was. He drove though the red woods here.. and it was the best ride of my life. Soon we reached the ocean and hit the famous California 1 highway. From there we drove south towards santa cruz. While getting there.. the drive was simple superb. Ocean on one side and mountains on the other end. And to top it all he has gotten 3 cd’s of ‘The Doors’. Imagine.. amazing drive.. no roof on the car.. and jim morrison singing..’raiders on the storm’. just wow.

So somewhere in the drive.. the things around me started to look familiar.. it was like deja vu. Then it hit me.. this was the road that’s there in the game NFS, and on which I have driven on many times in the game. I even saw a ramp.. and I remembered hitting that ramp many times.

We hit Santa Cruz, where I tried out oysters for the 1st time in my life.. they were raw and uncooked. It looked yucky but it tasted ok. Then we headed to a sushi place.

and man it sucks. Its raw everything and I almost felt like puking after having the caviar sushi. I’m never gonna touch sushi again in my life 🙂

Today :

Went to stanford university. most of the place was empty being a sunday.. but the place is really really huge. raghotham and bhatta , thanks a ton man.. for showing me around.

I’m on dial-up from home. Will put up the pics from office tomorrow.
