Yesterday was another fun day :). We went to La Jolla where we walked around the shops and the park by the ocean, then had dinner and drinks at this amazing 1920's hotel overlooking the ocean at sunset. Then we ended the night back in Laguna at an Italian place that had live jazz music. Ann and Robert are an absolute riot... My face hurt from laughing so hard.
It's funny to me how different life is here compared to the other places I've been so far. I can understand why people are drawn to the So Cal life, and I can understand why people leave it just the same. To each his own I guess.

I leave tomorrow to make the trek across the desert... Including the stretch of two hundred some odd miles with no towns or services. I pray that Franke does ok in the desert heat... And me for that matter.
It was great to see San Juan Capistrano today, which is home to the oldest residential street in California, and the oldest home, which was built in 1770. The catholic mission there was built in 1776, with the intention of converting native Americans to Catholicism, which was met with much resistance. It was a great little history lesson :). Anyway, I'm off to get ready for another night at some posh place that I should dress well for... Fun times :) I'm excited for the next leg of my adventure, and will post once I'm on the road.
