We Found a Low-Fare Bus - Monday, June 13, 2011
Priscilla decided to visit me this weekend to celebrate my birthday. I think she cares more about my birthday than I do. ;)

This time she found a low-fare bus line, CA Shuttle Bus, and got a $25 ticket up and $29 ticket down. With our closest stops being in San Jose and North Hollywood, it's pretty convenient for when we don't care to drive or pay more for flying. Priscilla said the rider demographic seemed to comprise mostly American students and European travelers, and people were quiet and considerate. That's great considering that some other low-fare bus lines, without naming any in particular, are known to be frequented by... let's just say people of a louder nature.

So I picked her up from San Jose on Friday and we had some tasty but somewhat greasy Middle Eastern food at a hole-in-the-wall place called Falafel's Drive In. It's apparently a popular place- people were still lined up to order half an hour after the posted closing time. On Saturday we walked to the Santa Clara farmer's market, two miles from my house, which was interestingly the first time I've ever been to a farmer's market. We got yellow and purple potatoes, carrots, onions, green beans and almond butter. Though I don't anticipate buying stuff from farmer's market regularly, I appreciate that the produce we got did seem to last longer and taste better than what I get from the supermarket.

During the weekend we also worked out, went to Shah (haven't been there in a while), baked banana walnut bread, cooked, studied and worked, watched silly stuff on Youtube, and just enjoyed each others' company. Time together always runs out so quickly!
