Erich (Kand) and I went to Santa Cruz (Erich's place is actually in Capitola) and met up with Ted (Erich's old boss and fellow WoW gamer) for lunch at an Italian restaurant called Cafe Mare. Lunch was really tasty, and conversation was great. Ted has been to New Zealand before, so it was cool chatting about places he went and such. Erich and I walked down to the Santa Cruz Pier, Boardwalk and Downtown Santa Cruz. The whole area is beautiful, and its great hearing the sea again! The pier has sealions living beneath it, and novelty tourist shops and restaurants & eateries above.
Off the boardwalk is a huge amusement arcade and rides which look really cool - the whole area looks quite like the movie The Lost Boys, minus the vampires. *Edit* Erich tells me the reason it looks like The Lost Boys is because the whole movie was filmed here. D'oh!
After that we drove around and visited the University of California which is where Erich went. The place is HUGE!
Erich and I getting along really well and have a bunch of things planned for the rest of the week.
