Pictures:
1- Building the Bobs (Not a flattering pic. We're in the garage of the Geierstanger's beautiful Mission-style house. Of note: their washer and dryer are in the garage. Since I've always lived in cold and wintry places, I had never seen this.)
2- Ocean background
3- Biking- see the hot air balloon?
Sorry I can't rotate the pic
My Dad and I, along with all of our luggage!, made it to San Diego. Upon arrival, we were told we would be facing the coldest days of the year. Thus far, we are tolerating the 65 degree and sunny weather quite well. It looks, smells and tastes tropical. We are staying with the daughter of our neighbors in North Oaks. The Geierstangers and their lovely daughters have been so hospitable.
I'm pretty sure that the number of convertibles I saw today equals the number of convertibles I have seen in my entire life. I have yet to see a Subaru.
Today we built our bikes and trailers and explored locally to make sure everything was functioning properly. We also biked to Torrey Pine State Park. Tomorrow morning we plan to start our journey and ease into the trip.
My poor mother. In a loving way, she threatened that I owe her 10 grandchildren for stealing my Dad away from her.

you're off! not only are you beginning your amazing journey, you're also beginning to open up a gap on all of the triathletes in Jackson who'll be busting their butts to catch you on the hills when you return to jackson.
i hope you have an absolutely wonderful trip. thanks for sharing it with us. -kevin
I could go for some 65 degree weather, not that I'm complaining.
Don't forget your sunblock and have a great first day!!!

Mark and Ann,
We loved having you guys here at our home in Solana Beach. What a honor for us. We have been thinking about you lots since you've left -- hoping that you are staying warm! It's been a bit chilly lately (for So Cal that is). We'll be eager to hear about the rest of your trip. Have fun!!

Hey Ann...
I believe you are having a wonderful time, wish I could get out for a while. I am auditing a casino now , its exciting (cant gamble of course) but I doubt it comes any close to what you are experiencing. You have such a big heart, am praying for you and your dad as your journey continues....
Love from SA.....Beauty
