Tired after a long drive, I woke up this morning in a strange small city. A city I kind of explored last night while looking for a place to eat.
I only small a few blocks of it, but I’m assuming that the rest of the city would be no different.
It’s a far reaching suburb with little strip malls scattered here and there.
Looking at the population breakdown, it makes sense, considering where we are, NorCal, or just south of NorCal, where most of the population had been or are farmers.
Gilroy is just a stone’s throw away.
I rolled around bed for about an hour or so after I got up around 6ish and decided to come out to the Starbucks that I found while I was out last night.
I plopped down here, plugged in typing away as I just people watch. I do what I do best.
I have hours to kill before I have to get back to the hotel and get ready for the wedding today.
Katy’s wedding. I feel bad since I haven’t seen or talked to any of them ever since Scott left, but that’s just.
I’m an asshole. It’s an excuse, but it shouldn’t be an excuse.
I’m just bad at keeping in touch. Out of sight out of mind.
But I’ll see most of them all tonight. It should be fun and interesting.

I took the PCH all the way up last night and I miss the drive. I miss the views. I miss the Pacific. It’s such a beautiful drive and just makes me want to make the trek up north again via its path, but it’ll take up too much of my vacation time with what I want to do.
I don’t know much about my plans in the next coming few months anymore. It just seems so far away and there are so many things that are pending. Just so many that I can’t really plan.

The sleepy town stirs and awaken as the sun rises above the horizon.
Cars zoom by outside and people march their way in through the swinging double doors to get their morning cup of joe blend. It is time to start another day.
In between spurts of writing I’m trying to figure out what to do today. What should I do with my limited time here, the limited time before I have to get ready for the wedding?
I don’t know yet. But I’m sure I’ll figure something out. Whether it is to go exploring a new city or if it is to just simply play it close and go watch a movie. I haven’t decided yet.
I think I’m just going to cut this short, grab some food and head out somewhere. The boardwalk?
Just maybe.
