We are 'old' people now, and it's not all that often that we are invited to a party, but Friday we were though. Mark in my office was celebrating his birthday, throwing a party with a Halloween touch. We went there straight after work on Friday, and although I was kind of tired we still ended up staying there for almost three hours. Mark lives in university housing, on campus. I've never visited those student appartments before. They're fairly basic, but the location is pretty good. Mark is really into 'patisserie' and he baked some awesome cakes.

We were probably in the water for more than two hours, surprisingly. The waves weren't high, but there was some surf. After we got back on our bikes, we went into La Jolla for 'gelato' and walked the cove a little bit. This italian ice-cream is really worth the trip!
Today, Sunday, Jan invited us out sailing with him for a couple of hours. His sailing club is out on Shelter Island. We took out a small boat, a 21'' that actually didn't sail all that different from the Holder 14 I've been practising on. But, I've never been on a keelboat before since I started taking sailing classes. We went to the fish market on the way back and got some fish and chips. A seagull caught C's fish filets right in front of my nose. The owner of the restaurant saw it and took pity of us and gave us another serving. That seagull was quick! He knew what he was going for ...
