Finally in Santa Cruz..

Well folks! After the longest trip I have been on in a while Micke (mr South) and I are finally in Santa Cruz.
I just have to tell you a bit about the trip!
Jenny and I picked up Micke yesterday morning at his place at 06.30am. It turns out that he had been gone on a gig the night before and had not had any sleep that night, because he was busy getting the last details for the trip ready- but the plan was to get some sleep on the flight coming over! I on the other hand thought I would be studying on the way over, since my travel buddy would be sleeping..
We both passed out on the flight to London, and slept almost all the way.. But that was the end of sleeping as it turned out..
We got on the plane to San Francisco along with half of the population of India, and as it turned out they had no plans of sleeping at all. They we talking at a very high volume, at the same time as they were sharing some foods, that I have no clue how they got through customs, but the smelled like nothing Homeland security would allow on a plane. As if that was not enough, it turns out that they have their very own rules about the usage of cell phones while in flight! They were making calls and talking on their phones on more than one occation- while we were cruising at 10000 feet... Complete nut cases! Needless to say we did'nt get any sleep!

However we got to San Francisco without dropping out of the sky- no thanks to the indians, and proceedde to the car rental place, where we picked up the car that Micke had rented from home. Let me just stress from the beginning that it is a car that fills our every need and will get us from point A to point B, but..... but..... but.... I like big cars, and this would fit in the glove compartment of our car at home... We are in the States driving the smallst car in the country;-)

We got to Santa Cruz, and immidiately went to buy some food, so we could get some zone approved wraps, and then passed out on our beds!

This morning we had breakfast, and went to CrossFit Santa Cruz Central, where we meet up with Annie and Shari- without a doubt some of the most possitive and energetic people in the world. We watched the 8am class, and then did the WoD at 9am.. It was Grace!
Neither Micke or I have ever done Grace, so it was a bit nerve wrecking to begin with that- but we hustled through.. I had the pleassure of doing the WoD with Zac "superfreak" Pine..
It is always such a pleassure to walk into the box and meet everybody, and I feel blessed to be able to come here and feed of the possitive vibe, and meet all the people who work out here..
I'll be going back later today spying and getting inspired!

Well its time for a snack, and then take it easy for a while...

Much love
