Hello California! It has been a long time. Sometimes, I thought I would never see you again, but pedal after pedal and there you are!
We are officially back in California after a short 20 mile ride into Blythe. The interstate carried us the rest of the way ,and I saw a big horned ram on the ride! A rare sight to see big wildlife out here.
Ryan and I did our laundry, got a nice shower, and feasted while zoom calling with his family and our beloved nanny family who brought Ryan and us together almost five years ago. Thanks for the fun conversations to Paul, Maria, Sarah (happy birthday Sarah!), and Ben Weizer. Mike, Michelle, Dani, Jordan, and Josh Borenstein. Jon, Susan, and Johnny Wagner. Then later to Keith, Jennifer, Tessa, Flynn, Elon Harris-Burdick and the newest member of the family, their rescue dog Jasper. We love you all and had a fun time seeing your faces and hearing your voices!
We constructed giant sandwiches with Swiss cheese, tomato, sautéed onion and bacon, sausage, turkey, avocado, pickles, mayo, and mustard on French bread. We woke up still full with more food left over to eat before leaving our hotel room. We will definitely be fueled up as we continue through the rest of California!
Tomorrow we are picking up Ryan’s bike part at the Post Office and have our fingers crossed that Space Ghost will be back in good working condition.
There and Back Again
