First day in Davis has been pretty solid. I have to say, the atmosphere here is pretty cool, somehow combining gigantic university energy with small town charm. And it’s not nearly as atrocious as certain people have told me (cough…Ally…cough). And the sweet weather doesn't hurt either I guess.
Woke up this morning and did my best to unpack the increasingly humorous amount of crap I found it necessary to bring. And also be Adam’s housewife. I actually vacuumed, which I hate doing and haven’t even done in my own home for quite a while. It was about as emasculating as you’d imagine, but I at least felt quasi-useful.
Went to Sophia’s Thai Kitchen for lunch with Adam and Katherine for the first Thai food I’ve had in a while. After, Adam may or may not have killed a homeless man by offering him the leftovers of his chicken with red curry sauce but not disclosing the fact that it may contain peanuts. In this age of rampant food allergies, I’m not sure how he could have been so careless (ha).
After lunch I was treated to a tour of Adam’s physics lab which contained more complicated and expensive scientific equipment than I’ve ever seen in one place outside of a James Bond movie. Oh, and we rode bikes to the lab. Bicycles. Which I haven’t done since I was about 14. And I then rode one around town for about 2.5 hours. I’m still alive, didn’t fall once and didn’t even come close to getting hit by a car. Win, win and win.
