This morning I started looking into when I was gonna go from San Fran to Seattle and found that the train was gonna be more expensive than a flight and it was gonna be like 22 hours instead of 2. Damn! I quickly emailed Jesse in Seattle to find out when the best time for me to fly in would be. Man I am sick of organising travel! The U.S. is not really very good if you don't have a car either. I really hope I can jack up a road trip at some stage.
I then embarked on what turned out to be an epic mission to go to a place called Island Brewery a couple of towns South from Santa Barbara. I knew it was gonna take a while but I guess I underestimated the tediousness of biking down a road for an hour. When I got to the brewery it was totally worth it. I tried a Avocado Honey ale (I didn't know avocado honey was a thing), a nitro porter (called Blackbird) and a beer called Night Sail, a black ale that tasted like an IPA. All very yum. I got a bottle of the Blackbird and a special bourbon-cask-aged version of the Night Sail. The ride home was aided somewhat by a bit of beer in my belly.
For dinner Tristan and I rungled together some steak tacos while we watched some Frisky Dingo. Afterwards I went to book my flight to Seattle. I was extremely gutted to find that they had gone up in price by $80. Dumb. Man I wish I had a car. There was not much else to do about it so I booked them anyway and went to bed hoping I didn't feel so shit about wasting money the next day.
