This past week has been lacking in the vacation department. All I've done is work, and homework. I think spring break is a joke if you're a full time student because all you're doing is homework-projects and essays! However, there were a few good things about spring break. Mostly the day Val & I went on a scavenger hunt for garbage. A quick stop at the grocery store near her house lead us in the right direction. Considering Val talks to everyone, she was telling the check out clerk what we were doing that day and he said that he knew someone (who happened to work there) that knew where some TV's were. So we talked to that guy for a second and told his where to go. Surprisingly enough he told us to go to Moraga of all places. Neither one of us had really been to Moraga, so we were on a bit of a scavenger hunt for the road he was telling us about. Luckily my amazing direction skills got us to where we wanted to go. It was very weird. So we're driving up this amazing road, so pretty and shaded with big trees-some even redwoods and then Val said, "what's that water over there?" "I don't know" I said, "pull over." So we did, and went to the edge of the road across the street and looked out. I decided to step a few inches closer to the edge and there it was. the MOTHER LOAD of dumped garbage. It was amazing, as well as disappointing and sad. I stood there for a second & then ran to get my camera out of the car, doing a few triumph jumps in the air. We had hit the jackpot. After deciding what to actually do, I just started making my way down the hill photographing things as I went. I think Val and I were down there for at least an hour. The incline was amazing and steep. It's very unfortunate that people think it's perfectly okay to do things like this. Especially in a very beautiful wooded area. I guess they just don't realize that they are actually living in a dump. We all are. And that's sad.
Here are a couple of photos of the area. I didn't want to add too many, because then that would spoil it. :)
