Oct 17, 2005

We woke up on the streets of LaJolla. Right in front of Lisa Baker's work bldg. She really does have a great view!! There is this camper that was parked up the street at night and I guess every morning then move it to right in front of her bldg for the day. Just great--they have given Laura all these grand ideas. "Let's sell everything-and live out of a camper--we can do like they have done and just live on this street in LaJolla."....oh boy! Watch out Lisa -we might be your neighbor. We drove down the street a bit to enjoy LaJolla Cove. Plus we just didn't want to embarrass Lisa anymore by being her homeless friends that wouldn't leave. We found a changing station (and lookey there) they had an electrical outlet outside so we made ourselves a cup of java. The waves were huge--people out body surfing. That was pretty cool to watch. These waves were about 12-15 feet...big!

On the way towards Sequoia National Park we stopped at a winery. Had to do some taste testing before just buying the wine. We kept it in check. Then on the road again-oh i finally found a place to buy some pinon nuts. (pine nut--it is a nut you know)--that's for Pam Tuttle.

We were on the road driving for about 6 hours when we decided to just spend the night in Bakersfield, CA (wal-mart). We caught the end of Monday Night football at the Original Roadhouse Grill--wow they make a good margarita. We fell asleep to the soft ping ping of raindrops on our rooftop. Hey some people pay extra for a tin roof so they can hear the same sound...we got it for free. Actually it rained all night....ping ping ping can sure get on your nerves after awhile.

by the way: we haven't showered in 4 days...started to stink....
