I'm going to the fitness center. I'll call you later. I loves you. Ayumi and I went to this place in old sac last night called the Back Door Lounge and had one drink. There was a cute boy there but he was drunk and his girlfriend was all over him. I had breakfast this morning with Clay Bennett. He's a socialist that draws for the Christian Science Monitor.
LOVE, me. |

ok, so the fitness center consisted of a treadmill, two stationary bikes and an elliptical machine. Why would you run inside when you can run OUTSIDE and SEE SACRAMENTO! Ran down Capital Mall and around the capitol building. There were lots of folks out walking, but NO ONE running or jogging. There are quite a good number of trees in this town. And even the run down parts are quite quaint. I still haven't figured out these californians and their cross walk habits. They like to wait for the walk signal, even when there's no crossing traffic. I feel weird walking against the light, like some hidden jay walking cop is going to bust out and arrest me.
The Embassy Suites is across the street from Old Sac, a Hollywood facade of a mining town square with raised clapboard sidewalks and cobblestone pavement. The Sacramento Southern Railroad runs tourist jaunts to the town border. The best part are the hordes of schoolchildren milling about at the Capitol, in front of the IMAX and now this railroad excursion. Every one of them saw fit to holler from the railcars and wave. I've never felt so popular.
Love, me. |
