break week 2

This week was a busy one. On Sunday I made my way home from Ensenada. I chilled at Gabe's house for a while before I made the trek back to Pasadena. Then on Wednesday I headed back down to San Diego. I stopped off at my mom's house before I went to Old Town.

Nice sunset on the drive down.

It was Christina's birthday so a group of us went to the Old Pacifica Cafe for dinner. Was nice to see Cristina, Bryan, Ana, Anthony and Nadia. It had been a couple years since I had seen Anthony and Nadia. Dinner was good and it was nice being back in town.

Thursday was Christmas Eve. After watching The Wire and then getting into Breaking Bad it was time to leave the pad. I went over to Alex's parent's house before I headed over to my grandmother's house.

My grandma's epic nacimento or manger scene.

In the middle of my gradma's manger set up is a porcelain baby jesus. Now he doesn't get displayed until after 12:00 am on Christmas day. However before he makes his debut. Everyone in the house has to kiss his forehead. My grandma wipes his head of course. Gotta keep it clean.

Friday I went back over to Alex's parent's house to watch the game. Pablo came through for the game too.

Saturday I just hung out at the pad and didn't do much besides watch more of The Wire and Breaking Bad.

Sunday was the day to head back to Pasadena.

Monday Bianca and I hit up Venice Beach. Walked down the shore a bit before getting some grub and some beers. Was a pretty nice day down there compared to chilly Pasadena.

Shortly after leaving the parking lot in Venice I ask Bianca if she had been the Canals of Venice. She said' "huh?" and had no idea what I was talking about. Seeing as I had never been either this was something we had to find. After checking out the gps I found we were only a couple blocks away.

After sunset we were treated to a nicely lit house.
