G's Update to Wednesday

hello everyone, sorry we haven't updated anything until today, we've just been doing so much. We got here at about 11am sunday, which is 2 pm your time. Pulled out the cell phone, heard Nate's voice, realizing we were now much closer, yet we didn't see each other yet. On our way to get out bags Bekah told me to walk outside and see what the weather was like...and as soon as I walked out the doors into San Diego, I started peeling layers off. Our transition was so huge, from getting on the plane after hiking through 5 inches of snow, to getting off and wanting nothing more than a t-shirt on. I anxiously grabbed our bags and ran outside to ride my skateboard. Nate called and said they were 5 minutes out, I informed him that I was skating. They picked us up and drove us for a quick run through down town, then back to their place in Ocean Beach (OB). When we got here we walked down to the beach to see the Pacific Ocean waves, for me the first time. Immediately afterwards we all realized we were hungry so we walked down to Newport, the main drag in OB and got some HUGE burgers at Hodad's. I got a double cheese that no other double cheese in the history of double cheeses could ever compare to. It was good, the weather was great, and I felt entirely content with my place in life. We went to church that night and indulged in some JAMBA JUICE. We got Nate hooked now, he shares my favorite, the Caribbean Passion. Monday Nate didn't have to work and Shyle has a break from 8-2 so we all went out for breakfast and then toured Old Town. It is a really interesting touristy town with a lot of little shops and carts with old mexican items and what not. It was fun to walk around with Bekah Nate and Shyle and just enjoy another day of beautiful weather. Shyle had to go back to work so we headed home. Nate and I skated down to the beach to check the waves, they are always up. I started feeling kind of light headed and dizzy so we went back to their place for a while and rehydrated me before we set out surfing. I brought his boogie board and Nate his surf board. I exhausted most of my energy supply swimming out against the emaculate waves. But once we got out there and I got rocked by one wave, I got a hold of myself and was able to get three really sweet rides in on the most amazing waves I've ever felt, all the way to shore. I was tired so didn't attempt surfing the first time out, but we might go out later this week. Shyle made us an amazing dinner monday night which made us very sleepy and that brings us to Tuesday. Tuesday we went Bekah and I went downtown San Diego and explored. I once again popped into many of her pictures, and repeatedly offered the line "take a picture of me in front of this" until we were both in a gut laughing state (see the picture of me touching the leaf). I'll let bekah tell you about the cafe and the homeless guy. Last night we went to Miguel's, a mexican restaurant with great cheese dip, and then got more JAMBA and drove across the Coronado Bridge into Coronado. I'll let bekah talk more about everything else, see ya'll later, enjoy all the updated pictures we posted!
