Random Scrap:
September would probably be not very eventful if it wasn't for a visit by Tomek. I borrowed Byran's Toyota pickup and drove to the airport. There was not much space in the car so we kept the suitcases in the back. We first drove to Santa Monica to get a burger and see the ocean. We would be sharing the same room for a month so there was some potential for tension. I was also worried that he could find the place a bit boring. Luckily, Tomek got along with Byran so when I was in school he would be helping him cutting trees in the backyard, swim in the pool or occasionally enjoy the wonders of all-you-can-eat buffet. As for any quarels we might have had, we quickly erased them with humour. We also rented a car to visit places around. The highlight was our journey to San Francisco. We drove all night, spent a day there and drove back - almost 1,000 miles in less than 30 hours. I was so excited by the sight of the city from the Bay Bridge that I almost crashed into a car driving next to us. It was a great trip.
