palo alto -75 miles of riding today.
We didn't hit the golden gate bridge until about five, i think, (we started as 8:30) but it was a perfect time. When you cycle from Victoria BC, you really appreciate the moment of arrival. HUGE wind gusts (was worried about losing my tent) and Joe turned a corner and got blown into the railing - as he was only going 2 mph at the time it was just really funny. Then into San Francisco, where I caught the Cal Train to Palo Alto to visit Rosemary. I will try to update more later - the Northern California coast since the 'Lost Coast' has been beautiful in a very different way than the Oregon Coast. However, it has been utterly lacking in cell phone service - hence the lack of updating. HOPEFULLY the cell service will be back as I continue South. First however, I plan to spend a couple of days here organizing gear, cleaning clothes (and me!) and generally taking a bit of a luxurious break from my cycling travels. Tomorrow- Starbucks!
