California dreaming...

So we leave for California in 5 days. I've never been before. I've always wanted to drive up the Pacific Coast highway though. We've decided to start in San Diego, rent a car, and drive north as far as San Francisco before flying home again. Going to the San Diego Zoo, Monterey Bay Aquarium, Santa Cruz Pier and various other fun stops along the way. I'm even lucky enough to be invited over to spend time with a very old friend on Thursday evening. She was my biology partner and good friend in Grade 10 and I haven't seen her since about 1986! I'm looking so forward to reconnecting. I'm a tad afraid it will be awkward, but I'm sure we'll get past it. I guess after all these years you're back to being strangers again, aren't you? (oh God, that reminds me of that Commodores song "Just Once"...now it will be stuck in my head!)

In other news, we check out the Doors Open in Waterloo Region today. We went to the Waterloo Masonic Temple, the new school of Pharmacology downtown Kitchener (the one with all the medicinal plants decorating the sides of the building) and last but not least the original Kitchener Gaol and Governor's mansion. Very interesting, although perhaps not quite as interesting as you'd think it might be. If that makes any sense.

I'm so far feeling much better today. Hope it lasts! :)
