Taco and Tien-Li's Concert

2006-08-19
Taco and his buddy Tien-Li had a graduation concert in UCLA Ackerman Union. Jessica, Mark and I drove all the way to LA just for them.

They sang 10 songs with two as encore. Primitive and touching. Taco sang a song written by a person he liked in undergrad. I was there when she first sang it in the Witch House.
Very interesting experience.

It's nice to see old friends from NTU and UCLA again. Even though we didn't have chance to chat for long, a few updates and good wishes can keep us continue our journey in different parts of the world.

Gilroy Garlic Festival & Ride

7/29/2006
Rode to Gilroy for garlic festival. Total 90 miles. Although festival is the reason, we didn't get to walk around because police wouldn't allow us to walk our bikes. We didn't bring lock.

Eugene and I found a delicious pizza place Happy Dog Pizza. The owner lady is very friendly and she is a runner. She showed us a scenic trail back to San Jose. That is Cayote Creek Trail.

We stopped in Morgan Hill for luxury home shopping. That was a nice detour.

We took off at 9am and arrived home at 8pm. It was 89 miles in total with 40 miles to Gilroy and 50 miles back.
