AEPi Chills at UCSB

Luckily after this short stop on the highway next to a US Border Patrol sign, we continued on our way to where we were going - not Mexico. After not sleeping much, we finally arrived in Santa Barbara at 5:30AM. We took a cab to Isla Vista, where the AEPi house is located. We arrived at 6AM to find hte side door wide open, and nobody awake. We left a not identifying ourselves as brothers from Canada and that they should not kill us thinking we might be bums. We grabbed couches and passed out due to exhaustion.

We woke up and met all the guys that lived in the house. They were impressed with the mission we took to get there, and that we arrived at 6Am. For breakfast we went to this quasi-gourmet bagel shop that served a variety of interesting bagels and toppings. I went with the pretty safe bet and ate a bagel with cream cheese, lox, tomato, onions and some seasoning - it was amazing. We then went back tot he house and hung out there until the weather was nice enough to go to the beach. The beach was a 10 minute walk from the house. It was very small, but the view along the coast was awesome.

After the beach we got back to the house and started to make dinner plans. We asked them were an In-N-Out is. They were shocked to hear that we had never eaten there, desptie the fact that we have only been in California for 2 days. They told us that one was not close, but that we absolutely had to eat there. More on this In-N-Out craze later. we partied well into the night and eventually got to sleep on the not very desirable couches.
