Roadtrip Day One

i left carlsbad at 10:30am, i stopped to see cindy & procure a few items in paramount. i was misled by the person (who shall remain nameless) who told me to leave north county at 10 "in order to avoid LA traffic" (i originally wanted to leave at 6 or 7am to get to san fran nice & early) and TOTALLY hit traffic in LA anyway. i paid way too much for gas along the 5, listened to so much good music courtesy of roadtrip CDs, enjoyed the first few chapters of francis chan's "crazy love" (check my twitter history for the link to download it for free), waited in line to pay the bay bridge toll for about an hour, and finally ended up in san francisco at 8:30pm. i loved the scenery along the 5 - the transition between vineyards, citrus groves, lavender & corn fields. had so much fun talking with noelle in san francisco - the girl's as smart as a whip. i miss having her live close to me. her apartment is tiny but cozy and her neighborhood is up against golden gate park. i found a tiny parking spot that was fodder for several "that's what she said" jokes & she says she has to watch out for rats, but other than that, she loves where she lives.
