Day: 74 Three hours and thirty miles or bicycling this morning lead to a nice early afternoon nap and phone calls from Alissa and Vito who were coming out to spend the evening with me partying. Everyone came out for the Saturday night party, a bunch of Josh‘s college friends, Ed and Wes, Vito, Alissa [...]
Day: 73 This morning I wanted to do my first big bicycle ride of my training for my PCH tour. I got on my bike and headed down PCH from Balboa to Lauguna, had breakfast, and rode back. It was a hilly ride and the roughly 30 miles put a slight(sarcasm; slightly more than slight) [...]
Day: 72 Up again with the sun, I woke up Daniel, and we got on our bikes for a ride up to Huntington Beach for breakfast at the Sugar Shack (a great local restaurant). We rode back and Dan had to take off to get to work and I just prepared myself for another lazy [...]
Day: 71 Vito, says my life here on the beach is just like the life of a dog. Get up, eat, lay around, eat, drink, take a walk, take a nap, eat, drink, sleep. Now while things might not be exactly like that, I can see the comparison makes some sense. This morning I woke [...]
Day: 70 Getting ready for my 1300 mile bike ride up Pacific Coast Highway, I headed over to REI and threw down the credit card for my brand new $650 touring bicycle complete with generated headlight (sweet!). That was the most excitement of my day, the rest was spent having cocktails with my sister on [...]

Day: 68 Up at 3:30am to get on the E train towards Queens where I had to change trains to get the Airtrain to JFK. I arrived at JFK just after 5am where I checked my bag and had a breakfast burrito. After a couple hours of waiting, just after boarding the plane I realized [...]
Day: 67 What’s New York without musicals?! Jandiz and I woke up late and thought about going and getting brunch, but we first wanted to see what kind of Theatre tickets we could find for today. She wanted to see “The Drowsy Chaperone”, a new musical that has a lot of buzz going around it. [...]
Day: 66 I was expecting New York to be much colder, especially after spending so much time in Europe I had sort of become accustom to the cold, today the sun was shining and it was up it the 80′s, I think I even got a little sunburnt. After getting up around ten-thirty, my NY [...]
Day: 65 Surprise! I’m in NYC So, I lied about taking a tour through Ireland in order to surprise my family on their vacation in California. When Jake, who was supposed to spend the summer with me in Africa, canceled on me and my sister started telling me about the four bedroom house that the [...]
