Grunge

- Why don't they sing Nirvana, - we wondered while listening to so many karaoke songs in one of those bars in Seattle. I even bought a big sweater to integrate, so what that with contacts it only seemed big and now that I wear glasses it looks pretty small to me - it was still a big thing.
It's really not the only silly joke we made about Seattle - the only two bands anyone asked about grunge would mention are actually from around here. Do you like grunge? Oh yes, I like Alice in Chains one could answer shyly stretching long sleeves. In our wide imagination there was a very annoyed grungy zebra working in an office too.
People around look hip and the public transportation is great - there are only two or three hours when one can't use it - drivers also need to sleep. Pregnant women might pick you up hitching to this beautiful city and... basically I can't say anything else as I only spent here a half of the day. It's still America so we'll do it tomorrow.

The capital of

It seemed quite silly to stand next to the Golden Gate bridge with a sign 'Eureka', but we were very serious - we wanted to get to Eureka. It's 4 20, and we left to the capital of... We're not quite there though as in Humboldt there aren't any couchsurfers. And from Eureka it's so close to the redwoods - we don't care about the pot.
We are in love with SF though I can't make up my mind - does the weather make it even more special or just spoil the whole thing. One can smell flowers anywhere in the town (I might be a little bit exaggerating) and fruit are so cheap and juicy in all of those small shops. It's quite a motivation to choose a town for living. It's seems so far though, too far from home. Especially before Easter.
And so we went to a dubstep party in Eureka. How does one sing dubstep along? 'Aaaaaa!'

Broccoli and carrots

- I really never expected you to ask me to carry broccoli in San Francisco, - said Justinka, carrying the plate as we were walking back to Jeff's.
We went to sail today, with our previous host John. We surely imagined it somehow different as we wore jeans, jackets, took a camera with us. The only thing what seemed strange to me - everytime I do something dangerous (sail, hitch, ride horses etc) everyone tells me it's all safe and easy, just this time John said - I can't guarantee we won't fall in to water.
One thing I realised about myself today: if I could live the life I please then I wouldn't be a boat-woman. I'm totally fine hanging out with wet hungry people coming out of water, can cook together, share beers and wisdom. But there in the see I feel not... like I can do a thing. On the other hand, now I want to get back there and try once again - even though it's not my cup of see.
And we also got some broccoli-leftovers, so there will be plenty of food tomorrow. I treasure.
What else - we're looking for a good church where we could see people singing. And we'll do yoga once again. Then we'll reach the heights of our possible being, human-being. That's right - tomorrow.
