Saturday Shasta day!

Today we headed off to Mount Shasta to snowboard! (after a blueberry bagel & cream cheese breakfast)

The mountains were so beautiful. There was Castle Crag and Mt Shasta. Just stunning views. In America everything is so BIG!
On the mountain there was snow but not as much as usual- it was a bit like being in Austria, but with people whose language I understood. I chilled on the back of the truck and sang and played guitar. We ate sub sandwiches, chips (crisps to us english) and had Whoppers- a bit like Maltesers.

Came back down the Freeway (it's so like being in an American movie cliche- driving down the freeway in a truck after goin' up a mountain to shred some snow/playing guitar in the parking lot, casually surrounded by epic mountains and random gas stations, singingalong to dubstep, worship and country music)

Back home (Rita's) we ate some noodle stuff and a tuna melt- nom!- and packed up stuff to move on up and out to the next place.

Saying our goodbyes, we put our stuff in the truck and were driven up to the North of town and to a lovely family who host people who come over to stay in Redding.

I miss Ri & her family already after only 3 days of being there!
