New Year

Posted in Labels: , ,


Sorry this is so over due. Finally I get to sit down and update. I’m not so sure what I’m so busy this month but I guess it’s a good sign for me, don’t you think?
Anyways, New Year was good for me. Been busy every since the January 1st. On January 3rd, I accompany Calvin to bring his boss and co-workers from Taiwan for a site seeing. How can I miss that? I love going around. No San Francisco this time. This time we go South…. Yes! We went to Santa Cruz but not the broad walk. Somehow, I’m gone back to Mystery Spot AGAIN!!! I’m so not excited about it. It’s a nice place but in less than a year I’m going back to the same spot. I think, I’m expecting too much. I really wanted to go somewhere new. Pictures below are from Mystery Spot.

Next, we went to Monterey to have our lunch. Okay….. Calvin bought them to the same restaurant when we bought his mom the last time. Hmm………… It’s okay, it’s my 2nd time there and I can still accept it. Food is delicious as always. Just look at the photos below. It tells everything!

Ha ha ha.... Don’t worry! We did not eat all of the food. Some of them are just display.
What else can we do beside cam-whoring right? Too bad… we did not go to the aquarium. I wanted to go so badly. The last time I went I was so pissed off. I don’t want to talk about it since it already over. Just some friend is born to be selfish.

Next, we at miles 17! YAY! Finally get to really enjoy it. As I said before, I did not enjoy the last time. At least, I get to redeem it this time. I get to stop every single check point to check out what so special about it. I love the place and a new nice place to take photos too. But I realized that I’m don’t look good in any of the photos lately. Guess, I lose a lot of weight. Oh Gosh……….. I need to stuff more food into my mouth even I’m hungry. Not sure if I’m stress or unhappy.
First stop we’re at The Restless Sea….

Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk

Posted in Labels: , ,

Right after the Mystery Spot; we headed to the boardwalk since us already there on Santa Cruz. This is my second time on the Boardwalk. I like the beach and its way different from where I came from. I grew up surrounded by beaches but nothing as beautiful as this. With a live band going on and the amusement park made it prefer for a tourist destination.

Here is the little bit of the definition where I got it from the Wikipedia :

The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is an oceanfront amusement park in Santa Cruz, California. Founded in 1907 and operated by the family-owned Santa Cruz Seaside Company since 1915, it is California’s oldest surviving amusement park and one of the two seaside parks on the West Coast of the United States (the other being the Santa Monica Pier). The West Coast once hosted many more beach parks, including the pike in Long Beach, California, Neptune Beach in Alameda and Playland at San Francisco’s Ocean Beach. All have long since closed, but the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk survives as a reminder of a bygone era in amusement.

Mystery Spot

Posted in Labels: ,

The next day, we bought Elaine’s friend Pat to Santa Cruz since he never been there. So, I suggested mystery spot since everyone talking about it if you’re going to Santa Cruz. It’s not far from my place. It’s about the same time as going to San Francisco.

Mystery Spot discovered in 1939 and opened to the public in 1940, the Mystery Spot has been visited by hundreds of thousands of people of the years. Many have returned to show their friends the numerous variations of gravity, perspective, compass, velocity and height that intrigue the visitor to come again. According to writer Jules Archer, who lives in Santa Cruz, the Mystery Spot is “one of the most attended attractions in the Santa Cruz area – people come from all over the world to experience its strange force.”

The Mystery Spot is an area about 150 feet in diameter located in the redwood forests just outside of Santa Cruz. Within the Mystery Spot the laws of physics do not apply. It appears as though every law of gravitation has gone haywire, turned topsy-turvy and just doesn’t make sense. Some unseen magnetism or phenomenon just upsets all former ideas of equilibrium. The sensational Mystery Spot is a series of surprises that are unique, different, and inexplicable!
