Matt

Matt came back for a visit recently.  Last time he came it rained for 5 days in a row.  That was very uncharacteristic and although he had a good time he came back for some beach weather.  He certainly got his wish as when he returned we had Santa Anna winds and it was super hot and in the upper 90's!  I had to work a lot but still got to enjoy his company while he was here.  He had a great time, went to the beach a lot and was a little crazy.  The first day he arrived we stayed in San Diego for a bit.  We went to Balboa Park, which is always great for photos.  We went into the Timken Museum, which was free, and a nice little collection of renaissance art.  It was crazy wild too how close you could get to the art.  I know you need to stand back to take in the larger pictures but it was cool to be close enough to see the actual brush strokes also.  Later we ended up at a bar in Hillcrest that was what we thought insanely busy for a Tuesday afternoon.  Lots of characters there which made me very excited and curious.  After a bit I ordered a vodka cranberry and it was only $2 -- and it all became clear why it was so busy at 5:30pm and there were so many drunk people.  Matt is a very good friend.  He is so kind to me and I so appreciate him.
