This whole area reminds me of many seemingly conflicting things: Canberra (ie the grid style, very planned layout of the suburbs + mostly single storey houses. Oh, + the cold!), Movies&TV like 'Stand By Me', 'The Wonder Years' and 'The Brady Bunch' (ie the cycling through the neat little streets, the standard sloping driveways and typical American style house architecture) - what a confusing melting pot of memories, hey? It really is a lovely place.
Al&Steph had foot massages while I walked around and got reasonably (but not permanently) lost, despite the very ordered layout of downtown Davis streets (ie a grid of letternames (ie A,B,C,D,E etc) and numbers (ie 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc)). I had a yummy hot chocolate while reading my new book that Chuckie bought me before I left Aus and then met up with Al&Steph for a visit to Borders.
Steph showed off her ability to ride 'no hands' on the way home (and I got some 'Hershey Kisses' - my fave American chocolate)!Tonight I put in some time online looking into New York options (re: theatre and accomodation (what else would I need in New York?!) for later this month.

Steph, VERY NAUGHTY - no hands and no helmet!
Hey, when in Davis do as the Davisians do. You only have to wear a helmet if you are under 18 years (and I'm certainly not that). Anyway I was aspiring to Rob's level - apparently he cycles halfway to work before he takes his hands out of his pockets! I'm home safe now and promise to behave myself.
