hanging out in davis still with becky and her beautiful roommates and friends. on wednesday evening we attended an event on the uc davis campus called "i love female orgasm." it was a very informative, witty, humorous, and well-attended talk delivered by a couple who travel around the u.s. educating college students about the female orgasm. they also write books and do a lot of other things (research, etc.) for this. it is great for women who have been brought up being discouraged to explore their own bodies, being discouraged to allow themselves to reach the same state of pleasure that men usually reach quicker/more often. you can read more about it at http://www.ilovefemaleorgasm.com/
on thursday keir arrived (keir is one of the counselors i had the privilege of working with at camp, a beautiful person, soul brother, and the significant other of becky's roommate gabbie) in davis. then the camp's fabulous cook, john, came too! and becky, keir, john, and i had a mini camp reunion and ate thai food. it was so wonderful to have so many of us together, and to see john (who is an an amazing person!).
on friday keir and i engaged in long-awaited conversation while gabbie and her mother danced in the kitchen. this conversation is one of the highlights of my trip, but how do you write about such things on an internet journal?? keir is a divine mirror. let's just say that much.
then keir, becky, gabbie and i drove to keir and gabbie's hometown of placerville. i really enjoyed this town a lot. we met keir's beautiful brother (who inspired me to pursue my curiosity about becoming a clown -yes, i'm serious) and ate at the coolest coffee shop i have ever been to. in the rear of the shop there was actually seating in the knooks and crannies of a mine. i was excited just to see a real mine. my excitement was escalated by the fact that they had little cafe tables and dim lights inside the mine. very cool. we, however, ate in the upstairs of the coffee shop, in a room that was basically the perfect, most beautiful, dance/yoga/concert/open-mic studio with a modest stage that had a couple of cafe tables on it. i walked in, drooled, declared that when i have my own home it will have one of these rooms, did a pirouette in the middle of the floor, and ate a vegan cookie. i was very happy.
we explored the town a bit afterwards, poking into a couple of neat shops (one of which was a tea shop that i fell in love with), and then hurried off to join in on keir's mother's african dance class. keir beat on the drums with two other drummers while his mother taught her wonderful african dance class at sacramento state university. gabbie, becky, and i joined right in with the rest of the students and had an awesome time.
going to have a chill weekend closing up this portion of my trip, and the next stop is san francisco!
