San Diego - Casa de Natasha

Our final destination south, Natasha! A best friend of Meagan's and PhD comrad. Funny enough, Natasha lives with another Natasha who also received her PhD at UVic (same group Mat worked for). We immediately caught up over pizza and beer at a local shop called Regents Pizzeria. We scooted around by bird (electric scooters) to a Speakeasy pub where we enjoyed delicious cocktails. The next day was a little rough so we chilled at Torrey Pines beach. That night we feasted on a delicious BBQ that Mat prepared for us with cupcakes for dessert. One of Mat's dreams came true the following day: surfing in Californian water. We spent a few hours on the water. Mat was a true surfer, standing up multiple times. Meagan on the other hand was tossed around like kelp. The three of us refueled with the best tacos in Pacific Beach called the Fish Shop. The rest of the time was spent in the hot tub, it truly felt like a vacation.Les mer
