Getting back to my roots

On another trip to Santa Rosa I was by chance able to meet up with one of my long time best friends Danelle. She happened to have stopped to visit her grandparents on the way back from her summer vacation in Florida and the northern California Coast. Every time we get together a certain unexplainable energy seems to start flying around us. Its a combination of extreme excitement and extreme comfort. I can not help but smile or laugh every time I look at the girl. We spent a wonderful afternoon at the Bodega Bay Seafood Art and Wine Festival, eating amazingly fresh seafood (something you don't find in the mtns very often), sampling local wines and listening to Tommy Castro while wandering through all of the art exhibits. I couldn't think of anyone I would have rather gone with. Before heading back into town we ran around on our favorite beach and dipped our feet in that oh so refreshing north coast water. It will really wake you up. I stood there for a long time remembering how many memories we had made at that foggy, cliffy, sandy old stretch of beach. For me pure nostalgia.

While in town, Cale and I also spent a day in San Francisco roaming around the city during the day and then met up with my brother and his friend in the evening and went to the first day of the Outsidlands Music Festival where we saw Manu Chao and Radiohead. A fantastic day. I have never seen a picture of myself this excited to be dancing....if that is even what I was trying to do.
