[[Category:People]]
 
[[Category:Montréal people]]
Awoken at 7 AM by neighbor, blasting the most obnoxious music he could find and singing along, inserting random swear words, as warned. Was amusing, but I don't live here (M & K are moving to their new place after returning from their trip).
[[Category:Visual Arts]]
 
Coffee, sign up for monthly  T-Mobile wireless ($40 for unlimited). Trip planning and keeping in touch with work at Starbucks. Many business meetings at Starbucks, good place to snoop (intentionally or not). Then again, California (at least) Starbucks are much different in the US. More of a meeting place, people are livelier (which means louder). Cheaper too, with apple fritters.
 
Laguna Hills, Laguna Beach, lunch t Las Brisas with a nice view.
 
Lost the camera lens cap where the logo pic was taken. If you see it...
 
Lots of driving in the nice weather & scenery. Need to get some walking in.
 
The Coffee Bean is across the street, been around since the 60s, slowly turning itself into a donut shop. Ofosa (?) beach - big waves.
 
Sushi dinner with M & K.:) We were wondering if just they call California Rolls "Rolls."
 
=== Friday ===
 
Saw M & K off at 5 AM. Then back to sleep. Crazy neighbor was quiet this morning.
 
Started the day at Starbucks again (the internet...). The coast down to San Diego (stopped at Ki's, a decent inexpensive restaurant with good veggie options in the beach strip). Went to Balboa park but were too late for the zoo. Went to Prado, a really nice restaurant in the park with a surprising cost effective happy hour. Now at another Starbucks in Gastown. Going to check out another restaurant, then back to San Clemente. Planning adventures with Laura/Andrew in LA tomorrow.
 
=== Saturday ===
 
Left San Clemente for LA at 9 AM, were there an hour early so checked out a farmer's market on a closed off street.
 
Met A & L and went to Venice Beach for a decent brunch. Then a trip up the mountain for a great bay/city view. Some travelling around culminating in an excellent sushi dinner at Musha. Then we checked out a raw food shop and wrapped up with some coffee at Urth, a trendy organic cafe with some nice looking food.
 
=== Sunday ===
 
Experiencing some "June Gloom" though it's not actually raining. Breakfast at Pipe's, a surfer friendly place. Now.. starbucks n the internet. Next we're going to wander around San Clemente, then maybe check out some local attractions or avoid travelling and sit on the beach and read.
