The long-awaited surfing pictures!

This is probably going to be my last post, as I leave on Friday for Guatemala. I'll likely be making a new blog for that trip, details to be determined...

Reflections from San Diego

Well, the trip is now officially over. I just parted ways with Alan downtown, where he will catch a bus to the airport. Nathan is already home, having finished his journey in Los Angeles. And I will be leaving tomorrow afternoon for Saint Louis.....

Our final few days were filled with forty miles of city riding in L.A., innumerable beach towns along the coast, a foray through a Marine Corps base, boogey-boarding and Mexican food in Carlsbad, and the logistical nightmare of packing/transporting our bikes & gear to the airport.

While it was exhilarating to arrive in San Diego, and my legs are thankful for the rest, it is certainly a new and interesting feeling to not have my day already planned with biking.

Also -- keep an eye out for pictures of me and Alan surfing (we were horrible!)
