Janina, Malin, Santa Monica, San Diego and Tattoos!

So here we have some updates on what we've been up to the last week! We have traveled for some days, and it's been a lot of fun! Janina, our friend from Norway has been visiting us this week, and we've done a lot of cool stuff together! Last Friday we went up to Santa Monica and Venice Beach and spent almost the whole day there. Always a lot of fun stuff to watch there!

Janina made a friend!

If you're going to San Fransisco

There may be no doubt where we're going today? Yes, we're going to San Fransisco! Our friend Janina has been here for a couple of days now, and we're taking her with us on our little road trip. Looking forward to that! On saturday we went to San Diego to meet Malin, a friend from home who's here for a conference. I promise that I'll blog more after this weekend!

So long!

Sea World and Stuff

So we've reached Tuesday in Toril and Julie's winter break in California. We've done a couple of fun things since the last post, but yesterday we had a resting day, and today we're going shopping before three days of hardcore sightseeing starting tomorrow with Disneyland!

Sunday the four of us went to Sea World in San Diego. I loved it, and I think our guests liked it too! I have never seen killer whales before, and it is amazing what they can make the animals do! There were also a lot of awesome animals! You can get in the right and fishy mood by pressing this link:

Day Trip To San Diego, part 2

After leaving the Salk Institute, we drove on to La Jolla, a part of San Diego. Annamaria had gotten a recomendation for a lovely fish place, El Pescador Fish Market, from a friend. It was absolutely worth the visit! I ordered myself a salmon burger, which was really tasty!

Day Trip To San Diego - Salk Institute

This wednesday we went to San Diego for a Fullbright dinner. The dinner wasn't until the evening, but we wanted to make a trip for the whole day. We had some excellent company too. Daniel and Annamaria were with us the whole day, which started at Annamarias place in Laguna Beach with coffee and breakfast. Annamarias appartment is really close to the beach and has an ocean view. A wonderful way to start the day! 

Then we hit the road. 



The first thing we wanted to see was Salk Institute, a research facility placed on top of a cliff. Here, Annamaria and the guys have just arrived!
