I'm on San Vicente and Barrington sipping on a dirty chai at The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. It's been a long day so far...I woke up at 530 and walked in the dark streets to a bus stop...but it was the wrong bus stop. So I wandered around for 20 minutes and found where I was supposed to be all along...right around the corner. Thank god I left the hostel early to give myself time to get lost. Anyway...Matt picked me up. Very good to see him and very sweet of him to do so. We went to this restaurant on Santa Monica Pier and from our booth you could see the ocean and it was AWESOME. I had 2 bloody marys and it is good I ended it at 2...let me just tell you that.
I miss my fam already. Rebecca and I have become SO close these past few days and so it was hard to say bye. Brooke...love her...so much. She was with Lucas though so she was really happy and where she needed to be. It was amazing to spend time with my bro and sis as a family again.
At the moment I have no fear. I am really quite happy and courageous with my journey ahead. I am just going to wander Santa Monica all day until I have to be back at the Federal Building at one. I ran like 3 blocks with a 20 pound shoulder bag at 7 this morn' because I got off at the wrong bus stop. I was 10 minutes late to my appointment....I felt like....INSANITY was drawing near. I freak my shit way too easily though.
Anyway...BEACH TONIGHT. that's all that matters.
