You are not number 3 on my list anymore.

Hike day! Yes! I don't know if you have noticed in previous entries, but in Northern California there is nothing but mountains. You can't help but notice them. They are LITERALLY everywhere. It was time to explore them. So, we put on some tennis shoes, some shorts and got some turkey sandwiches for a picnic up there. Yes, turkey from Thanksgiving. That bird was big.

In truth, it wasn't really hiking so much as it was a walk in rolling hills. Something in the fashion of The Sound of Music: The hills are aliiiiiiiiiiive.... with the sound of muuuuuusic.... uh oh uh oh! See what I mean?

It was actually really nice. We just went up, walked around, saw the Bay from up the mountains, pretended we were cows, took pictures as if we were Kate and Leo... and then we went back down.

Down there, we had some Fro-Yo. Fro-yo! Did I tell you that it is Cali's official sport? Well... we just went into fro-yo weight-lifting. Those chunks were big.

Back at the house, we chilled out hard. Katie decided to jump in the pool to cool off the perfect weather outside. She likes it cold. But she was the only brave one. As good as the temperature may be, it is still May. You won't find me in there quite yet.

And what did we do for Friday night? The most amazing thing ever. Bridesmaids!!! We went to the movies to watch the latest comedy.

If you haven't watched it yet, GO NOW. It is amazing. Sooooooooo funny and heart-warming and memorable. Those quotes will stick with you forever and ever. Really. Go.

That's the good thing of California. One minute you are in rolling hills surrounded by cows and lizards, the next you are in a movie theater watching Bridesmaids. It has it all.

Novato Is not that Bad either.

We were sooooo tired after the day in the city... We couldn't just start doing touristy things right away. As you understand, you can't just keep up with your life that easily after being in San Francisco. Therefore, we just chilled it out in Novato, Alexandra's hometown. Of course, she has her own swimming pool and her hottub and her lounge chairs in her backyard. The sun was shining, the air was making the trees dance and we were all happy. As you can expect, our day , whole blessed day, looked more or less like this:
















It was one of the best days of my life. I personally never got to get into the water, but nevertheless I sunbathed, read, wrote and got red as a lobster. It was totally worth it. I've never been so relaxed in my life.

To top it up, we couldn't just have some average food, but we had some real California burgers for dinner (at 18.30), which looked just like this:


Do you haight me hard enough now? It was a big chunky juicy burger with all sorts of vegetables, pickle and the most beautiful melon I've ever seen. I know, I know. However, I haven't finished yet.

We could have finished our relaxing moments there and go out to a wine bar for Friday night. But today it was Friday 13th, so we didn't want to risk it. What do you do if you don't want to risk it? YES!! FRO-YO!

It is California's national sport. You got to this place where you choose your fro-yo and all your toppings and then you get into heaven. It is like ice-cream but not as sweet or ice-creamy. It is like really cold fruit. And you can put some fruit as toppings, which I did, and which makes it abso-frigging-lutely perfect. If you don't believe me, look:


Sooo delicious. So fruity. And now, some Friday especial Sunday Funday. Pyjamas, Glee and Wine. Best Sunday Funday ever.
