1 day till birthday - 22nd July - Monterey
Man, I am so excited, it's like being 6 again on Christmas Eve. Tomorrow is Moto GP and my birthday, awesome.
As soon as we got to Monterey, which is only 40 minutes south of Santa Cruz (I can do educational too), there were bikes knocking around. Then that evening, there was hundreds. Bike heaven.
So Friday, we arrived, checked in, then found some Aussie guy's car keys left in his car. Found him and gave them back, then ended up drunk with him at a biker bar down on Cannery Row with another guy Lance who was from Touson, Arizona. A weird day.
Today, Saturday, has been a quieter affair. Went to the aquarium this morning to see a lot of fish. Penguins, otters, sealions, anchovies, tuna and many more pizza toppings. It was very educational, but we were slightly gutted as Valentino Rossi and Colin Edwards (Moto GP riders for the uninitiated) were there the day before. We saw on the Moto GP website that they turned up in a limo, and we saw that limo yesterday as the bar we were at was just down the road. Dammit.
We have now found a new lunch spot, Subway. After claiming they were rubbish, Sarah is now a convert, so we've stocked up on sandwiches for tomorrow. They're cheap too about 2.49 dollars which is about 1.50 squids, so that helps us out too.
In the afternoon, we went along the coast to 'Lovers Point' which was full of families and was busy so we headed up the coast further. There we watched the ocean and slept off a bit more of the hangover.
This evening there were even more bikes down Cannery Row, so we went there again. Now we are completely ready for tomorrow, we are going to bed early, if I can sleep at all. Tomorrow is a 6:30 start and bikes all day long.
More soon.

Pricey.
