Baaaah!

Oh. Man.

Word to the wise, if you enjoy mindless pleasure, face meltingly beautiful views, excellent cuisine and golf cart transportation, COME to Avalon, Catalina Island.
This weekend has been divinity.
After a week of crazy finals, and even more weeks of chaotic preperation to finals, packing up and carefully placing all my belongings in the back of my jeep as if it were a reall heavy puzzle....I am finished. It is SUMMER.
So what do I do?...Go spend time with my wonderous friends at Amy's in Avalon, of course. These past couple days have been nothing short of perfection.

My pal Emily and I hopped off the ferry and we were met by our lovely friend Julia because Amy was hard at work. We enjoyed some chinese food, later watched a movie and met up with Amy for cappucino and dessert at Villa Portifino, one of her family's restaurants, so delish.

Yesterday was glorious. Slept in, ate some brunch on the dock by the harbor, went to the beeeach, came back home and lazed around some more, went to Armstrong's (another one of their fantastic restaurants) had dinner, adventured around town a bit, windowshopped, enjoyed silly conversations over huge cups of coffee, danced by the water to the music from a bar nearby, went to get ice cream, came home, watched a movie and waited to Amy to get home.

Who knows what today has in store...hiking and eating are on the list, so that looks promising. Later tonight the Armstong's are having a big bbq for all their family and a few friends. Can't wait for that.

Happy Memorial Day friends, I hope that your day is equally relaxing and enjoyable as mine have been, you deserve it. I'm off to lay in the hammock now and look at ze ocean.
