So last night went to Tom (fellow Temple STHM graduate/ Banquets Manager out here) house for a BBQ with some of the crew. good food and comfortable company. The produce in Cali is awesome we had chicken and veggie skewers, homemade guacamole from the Corporate Management Trainee Intern Brian and chocolate covered strawberries with other fresh berries that were so sweet, better than the stuff we get from Jersey. Relaxing day and evening for Memorial Day, but today was the best so far. The sun is shining and the weather is breezy but not cold and cloudy like its been. Relaxed today, decided to order myself some raspberry walnut cinnamon bun french toast, that was good and finally got some snacks from the store and stocked my fridge. Then tonight was awesome!! First all the interns got shuttled to the famous and historic Sardine Factory where we had wine and some hour dourves (however you spell it you know what I mean)..Justin pretended like he knew his wines that didn't question the lady to card me..thank you united airlines inflight magazine for your tricks on how to pretend to be a wine expert ;) after taking a tour of the restaurant with its many different rooms and cool history we walked down Cannery row to the Aquarium where we got a short tour. Its really cool and I met a lady who would hook me up when I come next to finish seeing everything. After seeing the local fish, birds, seals, otters, seahorses!, etc. we headed to Stokes restaurant for some more wine and appetizers. This outting was hosted by Diane the concierge and was for the Northern California Concierge Association. Met some nice people and
did my networking skills for when if I head up to SanFran. I also met a guy from the famous Laguna Seca speedway and he said he would hook me up for July 4th weekend Red Bull's Grand Prix Race..your welcome Dad. Then walked down the main street Alvarado where every Tuesday they shut it off and have a farmers market. Got to try some local fruits and other foods and breathe in the Monterey culture. Got some nice little gifts from those places and came back to sit by the gazebo fire pit for a little and uploading my pictures from the day. It was great to finally see Monterey at sunset and enjoy what I came to see finally with the sun! I'm excited for everything thats in store. Wish I missed home and the people..Sorry I'm having fun and experiencing alot. I just hope I don't take it for granted and the summer just disappear. Again though keep in touch and let me know how much you miss me ;) The picture uptop is all the interns, corporate management trainee and one of the bellmans.
