First california impressions March 12
We started our first day by getting a coffee at our near by deli store. Our luggage was already brought to the reception in the night and so we had one thing less to worry about. After we grabbed our morning starter we headed over in the direction we thought the university campus should be. After a short walk we came to the first buildings of UCSD campus and the first impression was amazing - compared to austrian universities that campus looked just beautiful. We also found the library which looked kind of like a borg cube from star trek. 
After we’ve reached the other side of the campus we thought about heading to the beach. We crossed down a street to some kind of gliderpoint. The first thing which came in my mind when i saw it was the old pc game named summer games. The view from up the cliff was great and sun was giving us about 25 degree celsius. There was a small path leading down to the beach which we surely followed to find out that this is a nudist beach. So we headed down the beach for a while and found out that the water will still take some time to get appropriate temperature. At least felt temperature on right teeth was cold.
When coming back from the beach somewhere at La Jolla farms we wanted to head right over to downtown La Jolla. We’ve not fully lost our orientation but we didn’t exactly know how far it would be. So we just started walking … and walking … and walking … after about 2 hours we were pissed of the long distance. So we considered taking a taxi, but wait - where is our sidewalk? Hmm strange we thought - till we found out we’re on some kind of freeway. Dude! Good for us, there was a traffic jam on it and an empty taxi stuck in it. So we just jumped on it to find out that both was illegal - walking on a street without sidewalk and jumping on a taxi while it’s not inside a parking lot. He dropped us at downtown La Jolla at a restaurant which he considered to have good meals. So we headed there and took our first meal in the states. Meal was not that good but also not too bad i guess. Nearby the restaurant there were some kind of cliffs inside a cove. On this cliffs there were hundrets of pelicans and they all used it as a toilet. Therefor the rocks had a little white color touch and well the smell was disgusting. I choose to take a little break and lie down in a nearby park while Teemu choose to head down the cove a bit.
As Teemu had no shorts with him (weather report?) we had to look for some clothing stores and so we went up to Prospect which is the main street in downtown La Jolla. There we grabbed sunglasses (well, ok - i grabbed two of them) and found some khakis and sneakers for Teemu.
Shopping makes thirsty and so we headed for an irish pub named Bull and Bear straight on Prospect which offered us a fine range of cold beer.
In the evening we went to Pacific Beach which is a part of San Diego like La Jolla as the girl in the sunglass shop gave us the tip. I personally didn’t like that college party town that much. So we finished our first night at about 1am and headed back to our hotel.
