A photo( and occasional sketch) diary to monitor my culture shock from my move from a West Coast urban city to a beautiful and very small rural community in The Great North West. ***Click on pics for larger image. Updated every week, if we're lucky.***

20. Back in California

Que and I pack up the car again and drive 15 hours south for Christmas break in California...

They have fluffy, shaggy faces and weak chins, and seem almost dog-like in appearance. A female takes notice of Que and starts doing a sideways "girlfriend" neck-bob mating dance.
