Emmanuel's visit day 1.

Bells at the Santa Barbara Mission

On the first day of Emmanuel's visit I took him to the Mission. We got up early one morning and drove over to Starbucks and we each got dark roasts. As we were sitting drinking our coffee Emmanuel said "So Brian what do you think we should do today?" and I said "I don't know did you have anything in mind? And then he said "Well when I was at the  airport and I was about to be picked up I saw a postcard that said that there is a Mission in Santa Barbara. "I think it would be fun to go there." "Alright I said" and we finished our coffees and drove off to the Mission. When we got there Emmanuel said "Wow, look at all those bells and stone carvings!" We got out of the car and admired the Mission for a bit. Then we paid 6 dollars for the tour (my ticket was 1 dollar and Emmanuel's  was 5). Forty minutes later we were done with the tour and decided to drive over to Ben and Jerry's to get some ice cream. I got cookies and cream and Emmanuel got raspberry and Cherry Garcia. After that we checked out a few stores and it was starting to get a little bit late. We decided to get back to the car and go home. On our way back we stopped at Trader Joe's to get some chicken for dinner. When we got home we helped my dad make chicken with lemon and caper  sauce. It was almost the same as the chicken Marco makes sometimes on the SBMS trips. We sat down with my family and had a nice dinner. When we were finished with dinner we all helped to clean up the kitchen. Then we went into the tv room and watched the movie Rudy. After we were finished it was  around ten thirty so we brushed are teeth, got in our beds, and had a good long sleep after a fun exhausting day.
