Monterey, CA

We flew to San Francisco, drove to Monterey (2 hours), then drove to Napa (4 hours) for dinner, then drove to Mountain House (1 1/2 hours), then to Berkeley (1 hour) for classes, and etc ... you get the idea ... truly an ordeal. It was partly (okay, mainly) my fault for planning the trip the night before when reservations were made months in advance. I seriously thought everything was within 20 miles from San Francisco. Even though Yosuke was having the biggest headache ever due to lack of sleep, he was truly a trooper ... willing to suffer so I can get my fix with photo op's. I was very skeptical when I first met him ... But I've learned to realize that my relationship with him is like a new pair of shoes. First, I choose by its appearance, but I don't know if they would fit or not so I have to try them on. Even if they fit me perfectly, I might still get blisters from them.
