Regardless, I have decided that in order to take advantage of my first summer on the West Coast (also known as my first summer that feels only moderately warmer than winter), I've set some "goals" that I would like to accomplish:.
Barcycle Ride
So last week, I was driving down Main St. in Santa Monica, and I saw this:

A Barcycle. It's a bar on wheels that is powered by the patrons pedaling it. I think I may have seen one of these before in Boulder (?), but that's not really the point. The point is that I want to take part in this. In Santa Monica. This summer. Accomplices welcome. Nay, encouraged.
6/17/12 UPDATE: After looking into the Barcycle, we discovered that there is no alcohol allowed on board. So basically you pay $30 to ride this thing three block down Main St and go to a few bars. Totally not worth it...
Vino, te amo.
Way back in my first post of substance, I promised that I would be enjoying wine country soon after making my way to California. That hasn't happened yet, and I can think of no better time to take a drive up PCH to the SoCal wine regions than the summertime. Thanks to my lovely friends, I believe this trip is already in the works.
