12:35pm What's today?
Tita: My birthday!
Victor: So, what's going on?
Tita: We are on our way to Santa Cruz. We're gonna go to the beach and boardwalk. We are taking off via 99. We are on Scenic going towards downtown. I have been itching to go to the coast ever since I picked up my friend Kaenan in 2014. I love Santa Cruz. I don't know why I don't go more often. We are leaving on an impromptu trip. If we find a cool place to hang out we'll get a hotel. We don't know. We are playing it by ear. Victor is going to spread his seed.
Victor: I'm going to blog it up. I am all loaded up with fuckreligion.blogs and fuckmoney.blogs.
Tita: We are going to enjoy it. Even if we have to drive back tonight. We have been cooped up for quite a while for years actually. Except for Victor who went on his Freedom Tour last September. We are going to enjoy me turning 54! The dogs are here hanging out with me. Mamasita is my neck pillow as usual. My son is my hand cushion on my lap. We are going to have a great time!
12:39pm
1:17pm Tita: We are on Highway 33 South. I was telling Victor how since I was in high school I got used to traveling on the weekends. All fall we would practice really hard our formations and go to all of the football games and play during halftime. After we had memorized the songs and routines, on the weekends, all fall and even in November, we would go to different cities and compete all over California. We would ride a school bus. We'd take our own money. We'd stop somewhere for dinner and then change into our uniforms and then perform at competitions. We'd spend the night, usually at gymnasiums at different high schools. We'd bring our packs and sleep on the floor and then compete the next day. Usually, we had two competitions. One on Saturday and one on Sunday.
I was just having high school marching band memories. I have gone this route to Santa Cruz many times now. One of our rewards as band members was to go to The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk for fun, a whole day. We'd get up in the morning, get on the bus.
Right now we are on the 33 and I5 towards LA. You can see the Mount Diablo mountain range. I was telling Victor that if you look on a map
Mount Diablo is a barrier, we are about to pass it, I should take pictures of all these beautiful golden hills that separate the coast from the center of the valley, the San Juaquin Valley. That's about it for now. We'll take pictures. Bye.
1:21pm Tita: We are now stopping at the Vista Point. We're going to take some beatiful pictures. We are way up high and it feels like we are on top of a rollercoaster. It's all brown, mustard-colored mountains around us. It is gorgeous. There is two other vehicles here at this Vista Point. We can see the central valley and the fields of milpas.
1:25pm Here are all of the pictures from my camera.
