Hello from Davis, California everyone! I realize I have
already been here for over a month and not updated anyone about it, so my
apologies for that! Honestly it’s been a bit chaotic around here trying to get
settled and find a job! Both are a work in progress as neither of those points
are to my expectation, but hey, life is a process right!? Well, anywhere where
to begin… after our arrival to our lovely one bedroom apartment by the
university we unloaded all Patrick’s stuff out of his storage unit so he could
finally unpack In between all that we oriented ourselves in our new town and I started taking
some free language classes at a local organization, which I enjoy very much.
We only had about 4 weeks in Davis before we headed to San
Francisco for Thanksgiving at my Uncles house. There turned out to be around 16
of us for dinner, including some distant relations I had never met, which was
really fun! Also included in the group was this guy! Maybe you recognize him from
an earlier blog, but this is my dear friend Matthew from Australia. He had
planned a trip to the States awhile back, which conveniently coincided with
Thanksgiving. I picked him up the Thursday morning and he joined us for turkey
and pumpkin pie.
Matthew and I spent the next few days visiting San Francisco, where we biked on the Golden Gate Bridge and had dim sum in China Town. After
that we drove down CA-1 camping at Monterey and Morro Bay along the way and
just checking out the lovely scenery after which we spent a day in LA before he
returned back to Sydney and back to work. It was so awesome to have you here
for a visit and I can’t wait until next time!!! Good luck!!
I realize this blog is much too short to cover so much time,
but surprisingly I don’t have much more of interest to say about Davis. The
weather is usually nice and I enjoy the diversity. I should have more photos..... but these will have to do for now! Anyway hugs to everyone and I hope that you are getting excited for the holiday season! Warm wishes!! xoxo
