The Mission, also where we were staying, is the best district (in the world?!) when it comes to good food, in our opinion. The day of my arrival happened to fall on the day of the Mission Food Festival.
So, on the morning after my exam, I flew down to meet him, and we spent 10 days cruising around in California. I spent the good part of my summer studying for the MCAT while Jason was away at art school in San Francisco. Seeing these photos makes me want to soak in some more sum-shines on my balcony and go to Kintaro for dinner now that I’m home. Worth the drive? Definitely. It was no Kintaro, but it was still heaven in bowl when we finally sat down to eat.Īll in all, a very relaxing day. It was called Santouka and was located in a Japanese supermarket in San Jose. We were both fiending for ramen for dinner, so he Yelped up the best ramen place around. Apparently, Yelp runs the city and everyone just loves referring to Yelp reviews before placing their faith in any restaurant or establishment (including the DMV!). While living in San Francisco, Jason had become a fanatical Yelp user. But the only exciting thing around was… water. Thinking that there might be more to see in Santa Cruz, we drove around looking for them. Still, we had a blast just walking around, checking things out, and people watching. We even got to pop into one of those old school black/white photo booths that I’ve always wanted to try! Sadly though, the gondola was closed. That was one of the best afternoons I’ve had all summer. Haha, look at him go, you’d think it was his birthday or something =) Amidst the offerings of deep fried Twinkies, Dippin’ Dots, corn dogs, onion rings, and other health hazards, we settled on soft serve ice cream – it seemed least unhealthy at the time. Apparently, she was supposed to DRAW IN visitors to funhouses?! No wonder so many children were afraid of dolls and clowns! This crazy woman scared the bejeezus out of us as we were walking by. Jason shows off some moves on the DDR machine like it’s 1998. I used to work as a carnival games attendant, so I know better…
It was a total throwback too, to see arcade and midway games JUST like they used to have back in the day! (Is it just me, or does 1990 still only feel like 10 years ago?) Of course, we didn’t try to win any stuffed animals.

For comparison, I’d say it’s like Vancouver’s Playland except with free entrance, more food, more stuff to do, and a way sicker view (it’s right along the beach!). It’s the oldest surviving amusement park in California. A day trip to Santa Cruz to bask in some rays.įirst thing we did was find a beach to snooze on.Īfter sleeping and mowing down some sandwiches on the beach, we went to the incredible Santa Cruz Boardwalk.
