Yesterday (Sunday) Francisco, Mike & myself went up to Six Flags in Vallejo, which is northeast of San Francisco. It’s a surprisingly quick drive, given it’s highway all the way, but when we got into Vallejo at around 11:30am or so, we were greeted by our first queue of the day – the queue to… Read more
On Saturday I went down the Monterey Bay Aquarium with Gus, Julian, Ashley and Renaud. Gus had suggested the trip a week or two earlier, and I’d vaguely heard of the aquarium, so I figured it might be cool. Plus, it was a way to get out and about for once. All in all, I… Read more
