california, here we come

It is the morning of our second day in Orange County, California.  We arrived at around 8:30 in the morning yesterday and immediately went for a VERY early lunch.  We ate at  Del Taco, which is supposed to be a really good version of Taco Bell?  Well, it wasn’t bad.  After that, we got lost trying to find our hotel.  It wasn’t so bad since we got there SO early!!!  Since we didn’t really plan anything and didn’t know what our surroundings were going to look like, we had to sit around and think of what to do and how long it would take to get there.  Newport Beach was our destination.  That was a disaster!! Everyone was headed to the beach because it was the fourth of July.  By everyone, I really mean everyone. We could not find any parking spots and tow trucks were everywhere ready to punish the people who didn’t obey the city parking rules.  Eventually, after dropping all the others off to go have fun at the beach, me and Laurie roamed around and found a parking spot that was there all along.  So, we headed to the beach to meet with the others and saw it was one big college party.  I was imagining pristine waters and white sand (like Hawaii).  It was drunk college students, dirty diapers and pads(can you believe that?), brown sand, and COLD water.  Well, everyone tried to make the best of it.  Hina invited us over for dinner, which was so freaking sweet of her.  Her food was good! I am so ashamed I can’t cook like that.  Omer is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cute! I think everyone loved that little boy.  He didn’t even flinch at the sound of the fireworks ( we went to watch fireworks nearby their apartment).

So today, I woke up really early…so I decided to write in this blog since I never get to otherwise.  I reallly want to go to the gym but have no work out clothes and can’t really go anywhere to get some since they aren’t open yet.  So, guess what our adventure is for today? ………… Santa Monica and Los Angeles!!
