California! Here I am! Not a bad flight with a little bit of "Mr and Mrs Smith." It's late so the drive over was dark which is too bad, cause I hear this part of Cali is pretty. Tomorrow I guess. So I met the rest of Melis' apartmentmates, they seem pretty groovy. They set up a hooka and I joined them (don't worry ma it's tobacco and not as bad as a cigarette, haha). So we had a nice chat, even though it was a bit chilly. Sounds like there are at least a couple sweet things to do in the near future... i'll keep you posted. (Hey that picture from the plane is of the same crater I climbed on the Diamond Head hike)
