Well I think I have found my place in the USA and its California. I knew from the moment that I landed and looked outside at the beautiful sun and palm trees that I was home. I know it sounds so trivial that a bit of nice weather and pretty scenery can make that much of a difference but it really can. The drive to my friends work place was just confirmation of my initial assessment. It has a healthy balance of superficialness and tolerance to diversity.
After a leisurely walk around Balboa Park my first night there was dinner by the ocean in Coronado at this great Greek place, followed by a visit to Theresa's (my friend that I was visiting) parents. The neighbourhood was beautiful and her parents were great. We then moseyed on to Moo Chews where we had ice cream (Caramel and Hot fudge mmmmmm).
The next day we took the ferry over to downtown and walked around the tourist trail seeing all the big building and the city. It was just as pretty as everything else I had seen. The evening was dinner in Old Town Mexico (good Mexican food). We sat outside and it was so cool they had a little mariachi band playing and the waiting staff were dressed in authentic mexican clothing. After that guess what more ice cream this time it was white chocolate and kit kat.
Sunday was a day at the Wild Life park where we saw animals from Africa and Asia that was very cool, the weather was beautiful and the animals fun. Dinner that evening was at Theresa's parents with great dinner debate with her dad.
It was such a nice weekend and I will admit that coming home (which is considered Houston for now) I was a little sad to be leaving. As much as I am enjoying my time in Houston it's so different.
I was walking the other day and I saw a man walking with a T-shirt that said "I'm from Texas which country are you from?" I thought that was hilarious.
