Weekend in Isla Vista and Santa Barbara

On friday the week before we headed down south after work. Amanda picked me up first and then we went to google campus in mountain view the pick up noe. after a 5 hour drive, and a stop at 'in & out' (they make the best burgers of the world!), we arrived in Goleta, right next to Santa Barbara. I stayed with Martin and Julian for the weekend and Amande and Noe went to Ventura to see her parents.
Julian and Martin are also studying at eth in zurich. right now, there are working in a software company in Goleta. They have been here for almost a year now. on saturday and sunday martin showed me how to do surfing. It was great, although it's not that easy to actually get the waves with the right timing and then stand up.
On saturday night we first went to Santa Barbara, which is very nice. We just went down the 'main street' to the peer and then we headed back to get something to eat. After that we were well prepared for a long party night in Isla Vista ;) Isla Vista is the town right next to the University California of Santa Barbra (UCSB). A lot of students live in the houses right on the cliffs and there it gets very crowded on saturday nights...
