San Diego 2007

After my exchange year (2006/07) in the US, I went to California for three weeks. I spent a couple days in San Diego with a friend whom I've known from a Chinese summer school in Taiwan. It was so fun to walk over his campus in La Jolla. Somehow, I just can't get over the fact that the beach belongs to the university. UCSD seems perfect... From all the cities in California, I liked San Diego the most and LA the least, although San Francisco has its own charm as well. But what I liked most in San Diego is the obvious Mexican heritage... the houses are a hint more colorful, more sunshine, the better beach ;)

 In the city, having delicious lunch.

Btw, the dining hall at the right upper corner was the spaceship in "Attack of the killer tomatoes", my friend told me.

The famous San Diego Zoo.

The Zoo with a beautiful green landscape.

Excited...

Not only will I travel to the Dominican Republic in October, I just found out that I'll probably be going to a conference in San Diego next February... I'm so excited. I love travelling and I love San Diego. Maybe, I'll show you a couple of my pictures from 2007.

I'm also excited about going to the Dominican Republic because maybe this year, I'll understand what people say. It won't be an all-inclusive vacation! My boyfriend is Dominican and we went to see his family last year and we'll do that this year as well. I've been learning Spanish for three semesters now and I really hope, I'll get along. Especially because I passed the B1 level which is also required for German if you want to become a German citizen. So we'll see...
