Encinitas

I stayed the night in the San Diego hostel last night, partly because i have no where else to stay yet (my place isn't ready till sometime later this week), partly because i have friends in town there and partly because i can't stay at the Santa Monica one anymore, i'm only allowed 14 days in a calendar year, of which i've fulfilled.

So i went to yoga and had dinner in Santa Monica last night and then drove late down to SD. It was a fun drive, fast and easy on the freeway. I have always loved driving and taking road trips. Something about the dark silence, mixed with blasting and singing radio songs that makes you just feel different! It had been a while.

This morning i got up and realized i had no shampoo or conditioner or soap so i used the soap in the hostel as all three, ew but you do what you have to do :-)

I headed up toward Encinitas where i was meeting a friend later. I again had no idea really where i was going but decided to to take the Rancho Santa Fe exit toward downtown Encinitas. Where the road dead ended at the ocean, right in front of me was the Paramahansa Yogananda Self-Realization Fellowship. I couldn't believe it! It's an amazing building with meditation gardens that i had been to randomly years ago with Mom and my good friend Erin. In fact when i first went, i had no idea really what it was. And here i was, at a dead end with that exact same building right in front of me. Such an awesome sign!
