Davis, California

Tyler and I went to Davis for the weekend to kick back and visit some friends we haven't seen in a while. We took the amtrack here on a Friday afternoon and we're leaving today (Sunday). I spent the first half of my trip with Sarasa and she showed me the college life. Many people give UCD a bad rep but honestly its a very cool place to go to school. According to Sarasa UCD has the biggest campus within the UC system. I'm pretty sure UCSD has the biggest campus and she's only saying that b/c she wants to build up Davis. But everyone at UCD ride bikes around to get to class so I guess that's a good indicator of the school size. The school is located in quaint agricultural town and in a way this place reminds me of Cupertino. It's a very serene place to live where nothing crazy really goes on and people are okay with that. They prefer it. If you want to go to a college that has a peaceful surrounding where you can focus on school then look no further.
On Saturday Sarasa took me to the local farmers market with her roommate Michele and friend Alberto. It was fun enjoying all sort of samples. Some of the fruits I had there definitely couldn't be found at a local supermarket in Cupertino. They were so fresh and yummy. Many UCD students come here to buy a little something to keep in their dorm to munch on during the week. After the farmers market we went to go pick up stuff for Sarasa's 10K run. Go Sarasa! On the way there we wandered into an art gallery and peeked around there. The spoon art seemed to be a favorite among Sarasa and Michele. I spent the remainder of the day with Sarasa and we had dinner. After dinner we lounged around and reminisced old times; it was nice seeing her. It's always nice talking to an old friend you haven't seen in a while. I think Davis is good for her and she's surrounded by good company who'll take care of her.
Today is Sunday and I'm sitting here typing this as everyone else is getting up recovering from the night before. I think the plan is to hang out a while more at Varun/Kyle's and they'll drop us off at the train station later in the afternoon. This trip was a success and I hope to come back and visit again sometime soon.
