racing pigeons!

today was my first full day as a resident of california! the sun came out just for me ; ) i rode with em to her job early this morning-we stopped for drive-thru tuxedo mochas and bagels. i borrowed her car for the day and pretty much drove around all of san diego..good thing i like to drive.

i met with the owner of our house rental and did a walk through of our new digs. it's a great space, but it'll be interesting to figure out how to get 7 women into a 4 bedroom home. i call a room to myself! included in the house are two pigeon coops. apparently breeding racing pigeons is what happens out here! i've never heard of such a thing, but it was quite fascinating. the poop and feathers he left behind were much less interesting..

we can see the Olympic Training Center from our back yard, as well as some really beautiful scenery. i enjoyed sitting out on the balcony..just me and the sunshine! after an amazing meal of steak, veggies and sweet potato fries i'm ready for my trek (borrowed car from shaina this time-thanks!) back to chula vista from em's house (or, more likely, onto the couch--sorry Lunde).
