Monterey!

Can I confess something to the world?  I'm a nerd.  (OK everyone knows that, but it gets more nerdy)  I've known Sam for about 13 years, he's from Singapore but lives in Missouri, he came over to hang out with me for a week.  Why did Josh preface this by saying he's a nerd you might be asking yourself?  Well I only knew Sam from playing computer games since about high school and had never met him in real life before.

Nerd alert!  Where is my computer and Mt. Dew?

We made our way down to Julia Pfeiffer Falls and can I just say it was AMAZING?  It is one of the most beautiful places in all of California, I would say it was one of the most beautiful places I'd ever seen but Guatemala has too many places that are on the top of my list.

Para-Dice (get it? That's my name, with para in front of it)

Theresa Lenz was awesome enough to grace us with her presence and make our trip that much more exciting! Her and I were singing Weezer, the Beatles, Ben Folds, and many more the entire 20+ hours we spent in the car over the week of fun with Sam.  Theresa is helping me write this post, so I have to be nice to her... and we are listening and singing to Celine Dion right now.  It's all coming back its all coming back to me nooowwwwww!

Its wabbit hunting season!

When people ask me about my veganism I usually ask them if they want the 1-minute, 5-minute, or hour long version.  They were the first people to ever ask for the hour long version in the car ride home, and it probably could have gone to be more like a 2-hour discussion.  Theresa was already leaning to be a vegetarian, but that discussion helped push her over the end and now she's been going strong for over a month!

This was day one of our Journey.  Sam came on Sunday afternoon and this was Monday's adventure.
