Whirlwind weekend!

Friday (yes our weekend starts on Friday) we spent 12 and a half hours at Disneyland. This was after clubbing in West Hollywood at Rage and Here the night before, catching up with friends and having a boogy. Disneyland is bomb but man was I tired!!

Kristina had never been to Disneyland and I am pleased to say, she LOVED it! We also managed to make it briefly over to California Park, so that was great too!

For both of us, the favourite ride is definatly Space Mountain! How can soaring through the galaxy be beaten?!?

Saturday we were up at 5am to go and volunteer with the Flying Samaritans at the El Hongo clinic, in the poor border area of Mexico. Although we didn't have as many patients as in times I have been there previously, there were still many people to treat, kids to play with and doctors to learn from (or annoy).

I just can't get past how motivating it is to see these volunteers haul down to Mexico once a month to make a small but massively significant difference to this world!

Saturday night we managed to go out clubbing briefly in downtown fullerton before crashing at Avery and Thashawna's place. Next morning we got up early again to attend the graduation ceremony at CSUF. Did that sound like there was only one? Yeah, that would be because I thought there was only one.

Graduation is SO MUCH BIGGER than I ever imagined! Literally thousands and thousands of students with all their extended families in faculty ceremonies scattered all throughout the entire campus over the course of the entire weekend. It was intense!

We snuck away for a little bit and sought some respite in the Fullerton Arbareetum where we picked and ate some fruit before being picked up by my Godmother and going for lunch. After lunch we went to Long Beach Pride where there were plenty of smiles to share, friendly people to meet, great music to dance to and Jennifer Hudson performing!

It was a most wonderful end to a fantastic and absolutely packed weekend!

Still tired.

Sending love back to Aus.
