Today We Are Tourists!
We finally hit a warm sunny day, minimal winds, barking seals, blonde California surfers and bustling streets in Monterey, CA! Trashing our plans for a 90-mile ride and a bruiser of a climb, we will finish at Big Sur State Park just 25 more miles from where this Monterey Bay atmosphere captured us, derailing our original plan.
Last night we camped at Sun Set Bay State Park which is tucked between a Pacific bay and thousands of acres of strawberry fields. Needless to say the first 10 miles of today's ride was quiet as Dusty and I picked seeds from our teeth. People, views, agriculture, towns and cities continue to provide exceptional experiences and perspectives. Riding adjacent to Hwy 1 just a few miles back we could see a sign reading, "Los Angeles - 338." That means San Diego, our friends Chris and Jess, are only 100 miles beyond that. Today is the first time we started counting DOWN.
Hope everyone enjoyed their 4th of July weekend. Libraries and WiFi have been harder to find... "had" to buy a cup of coffee at this crepe shop just to make a quick post from our Ipod. Here are stays from our July 4th weekend and we will get pictures up as soon as possible. We could be done in 6 days...what do you think about that?
