Palo Alto/Stanford- Santa Cruz

After a late night in Palo Alto (matt was holding up well with the jetlag), we were up surprisingly early to sort our car rental. Matt took time to get used to driving on the other side of the road- including taking the time to go palm drive:



After a prompt breakfast at the university cafe, we set off for the first stop, Santa Cruz. we arrived by 3:30pm at Hilary's place, who was kind enough to show us around the local sights, including some famous surf spots. I was particularly excited to see the bridge where the classic teen horrow movie, the lost boys, was filmed.


Hilary's friend joined us for dinner before we hit THE Mo's Tavern for Reggae night... Its hard to forget how many wierdos/freaks Santa Cruz has, as well as the surfing culture.
