Last days in San FranCISCO

I must start this post by saying that I must regretfully correct myself in my usage of the abbreviation "san fran" when referring to san francisco. I have been set straight by our gracious hosts of the MVS house (thank you lindsay :-D)!!

This is our last morning here in the house. in a few hours we will start our last long leg of the road trip which will take us up the coast, through some giant forests, to our destination Oregon. The last couple days here in California have been very laid back, which is exactly what I needed. Have been reading "Poisonwood Bible" which is an excellent book, so the relaxing time allowed me some time to read. Also it allowed time for the house to cook an amazing vegetable chilli and add with it nathan's corn bread and it was perfect. Finally we entertained ourselves, and hopefully the the others, by teaching and then playing the dice game Farkle. Nathan and I have taught and played with just about everyone we have met on the trip. It is becoming quite a tradition. If you don't know about the game you will need to ask one of us....it is a fun time.

California, especially san francisco, will be missed but we are quite excited about the potentials to connect with people in oregon....oh and we have to keep biking more which is something we haven't done as much as we would have liked.....OOPS :-)....on to the next portion of the journey...ciao
