Sacramento, CA

Right now I'm sitting at the best hostel ever when it comes to charm! It is so cosy, like a really old southern house with a porch and everything... Well, since last time there has actually been some action! We left L.A really early saturday morning and took the pacific highway ( #1) towards San Francisco through Malibu, Santa Barbara and Big sur. It was so amazing! The coast line was so beautiful, it took forever but was absolutely worth it. Then about 2 hours from San Francisco we almost got killed on the freeway. Not a very nice experience but we're allright. A car in front of us ran over a big piece of metal that flew up and right in to our grill were it got stock and damaged the cooler. We thought it was just a piece of tire or something but a highway patrol officer called us over his speakers while we were driving 65 mph and said: You know you got a huge piece of metal in your grill? And I just nodded... Then when we got to San Francisco and got out of the car, we saw it and wondered if that piece had hit the windscreen it could have been the end... We took the car to Budget and the manager ( a woman knowing nothing about cars) said it was just cosmetic! The mecanic pulled it out and said: She's the boss while he shook his head... And if anything happens we got a number to call!.
San Francisco was great!! I love it! The hills are incredible!! Got some great photos that I'll show you later... Today we left San Francisco, drove over the Golden gate bridge and had some lunch in Sausalito. Continued to Napa Valley and went to a winery where we tasted some wine. I felt very sophisticated! And after a really nice day driving around with the roof down and enjoying the sun and the views we're now relaxing in Sacramento. I have to go and get a shower now!!
Martin sais hi to everybody! Take care and write a comment or two!

Åhhh! Man blir så avundsjuk! Här regnar det och tentorna hopar sig.. Men! En god nyhet, förmodligen kommer min kära faders lägenhet stå tom hela sommaren, vilket innebär att jag kan vara i Malmö hela sommaren! Så himla najs :)
Det där med matellgrejen lät helt galet, tur att det inte hände nåt allvarligt. Ha det toppen bäst, nu ska jag tillbaka till böckerna.
Tusen kramar!

Hej Maria og Martin
Det er fedt at følge jeres tur rundt i det vestlige USA. Det var da godt i slap levende fra nærkontakten med det flyvende metal. Jeg glæder mig til at se nogle flere billeder fra dine surf eksperimenter, og nogle fra jeres rundtur.
Kan i fortsat have en god tur
Hilsen
Far

Hej! Det låter som att ni har det jättehärligt, förutom flygande metallsaker...skönt att det gick bra. Har precis haft den jätteroliga litteraturtentan idag...och ja, existentialisme-frågan var med. Men nästa vecka är det över och det blir sommarlov. Hälsa Martin.
Kram
