A trip to the surreal

So we drove all the way to San Jose, CA to see Roger Waters perform The Wall. It was the fastest trip possible, except for the driving parts. One day driving there, one day in San Jose, drive back the next day. The concert was surreal , except for the drunk Indian lady who kept shrieking during most of the concert, and picking fights with her boyfriend or whoever was with her. She even tried to pick a fight with us when we asked her to please quiet down.





In the afternoon before the concert we went to The Winchester Mystery House. If you've never heard of it, it is a huge 160-room house built by Sarah Winchester, the widow of one of the Winchester rifle heirs. After the untimely death of her husband and child, she visited a spiritualist who told her the souls of people who died from being shot by her family's guns were haunting her and the only way to appease them was to continually build a house -- nonstop construction, 24/7, for thirty-some-odd years until she died. She held seances to get building plans every night.

The concert sounds fun, but the house and the crazy lady was sad and weird.
