Saturday was the summer solstice festival in the Freemont area. When Kristy returned from the lab, the four of us headed down to the festival. We were just in time to see a nude old guy dancing up and down the steet, great idea this was... Shortly after that there were hundreds of people in body paint riding bikes and skateboarding down the street. Finally the street parade arrived with costumes and floats, a bit more 'normal'!
After all of the excitement, the girtls headed downtown for some more shopping. The boys headed back home to get ready for the baseball. We headed to the baseball stadium early to get our free T-shirts, Woo Hoo! A few beers and some buffalo wings in a nearby bar filled in the time until the game. In a high scoring game the Mariners went 2-0 up in the series much to Juzzy's delight. We had a few beers after the game in the Triangle Pub and then ended up in some Gangsta Night Club for a bit. When we arrived home we found the girls watching movies, eating chocolate and having pillow fights in their underwear!
Damien cooked up a storm Sunday morning, muffins, bacon and eggs.This ended up being a bit rushed as we were heading to a 1pm baseball game, with the girls this time. All week Juzzy had re-assured us that mariners would win on Sunday, as their best pitcher was playing. A clean sweep of the series was in the bag! As the game got closer, Juzzy got more nervous and less confident. Mariners were actually down early, in a low scoring game. Luckily a few late runs saw them take a late lead and hold on in the last inning to win by one run, series sweep 3-0!
Dinner and drinks downtown to celebrate before heading home for an early night.
Juzzy and Kristy kindly escorted us to the airport on Monday morning. After check in and a coffee it was time for some sad goodbyes. While it was hard to say good bye, looking on the brightside, at least we had had a great week catching up with them. Hopefully we will catch up somewhere in Europe to continue the 'Damo & Juzzy World Drinking Tour'!
