this weekend was one huge road trip. saturday night 8 of us were dancing for the stillettos in brawley. (read: desert. middle of nowhere. lots of dust and heat and wind.) we left around 2:30p from san diego and rolled in just before 5p. a quick change, four hours of dancing, showers all around, and a late dinner later, we were all passed out asleep. the next morning after a quick trip south to el centro to find the local starbucks, we went north again, grabbed the two slow pokes of the group, and six of us headed up the back way to julian. it was 85 degrees when we left brawley, and by the time we got up into julian it couldn't have been more than about 70...if that. we all looked silly shivering in flip flops and t-shirts in the wind. apple pie a la mode was the one thing we stopped for before we were back in the car again. 4 left to go back to san diego...and then there were two. sukkid and i headed up 79 toward temecula to meet up with another group to dance to the harry james orchestra. home again, then, with a stop off by my mom's house to gladly take a vintage suit off her hands (it fits perfectly!) and a few other miscellaneous things.
400 miles in two days...i'm tired.
