OC-style week-end

This weekend, I went to UC Irvine visit Kameel.

OC-style party, swimming pool, boston lagers, bikinis (censored)...

And to finish, I d like to show a big advantage of the usa. For careful readers, it is to be related to an adventure in Peru (after the Misti climb...). The shoe is size 20 (I am a 12... or 47 european).

I am still unsure of next weekend's plan. Most probably some wine road around Santa Barbara, or Las Vegas...

Canoe sex / American beers

I arrived at UCSD on monday... Everything fell in place, work is going fine, workout after hours.

Just a small anecdote though :

Yesterday I went to the mall, buy some groceries, for breakfast, my daily salad, etc etc.

Indeed, I was going to buy a 6-pack of american beer.

(Not this one, but Samuel Adams, which is better...). There I come, at the counter. Indeed, the cashier asks for my ID. I show him my French ID.

- Oh, sorry, we dont take this...

- Really? - OK, here s my driving license...

- Still not valid...

- I am not supposed to walk around all the time with my passport, am I?

- I am afraid that would not be sufficient : we do not accept foreign ids. Any.

- So... how does that work, I cant have a beer with my friends?

- You're supposed to ask for a temporary id.

- for three weeks?

- I am afraid so...

- damn...............

*beers stayed there...

Now I have to ask my recently turned 21 flatmate to buy beer for me... What a beautiful country. I am just hoping that they will let me in a bar tonight!

cheers.
