A stranger in my own country

Marijuana is semi-legal in California. You can grow up to 25 plants and more if you are growing them for people with a medical condition with a valid prescription for it.

It was Homecoming yesterday for Mt Shasta High School and the parade came through town to showcase the footballers before they played their 'arch rival' team later that night. It has been almost 10 years since I graduated high school. As I watched this parade I felt old and I laughed at how cheesy high school can be. This was a very American moment for me that reminded me of my youth.
Last night I went to Roxy's Vet's Club to hang out with friends, make new friends and to have some fun. I ended up watching everyone else have party as it was a dramatic change socially for me. As the rap music blared and rounds of shoots were ordered I felt like the odd one out. This bar is a far cry from an average pub back in London. However, everyone is very friendly, extremely generous and not afraid to be outgoing or to dance. Above is one round bought by a friend - 10 double shots of Hennessy.

I am off to San Francisco tomorrow to watch the San Francisco Giants baseball team play The Cubs - I cant wait to see the big city and be in that great American sports atmosphere.

Music I am currently listening to: Nirvana is playing on the juke box at the bar.
