Sunny So Cal

Colleen and I  made it to SeaTac in good time despite the horrendous conditions. Big wind gusts and heavy rain squalls made driving in traffic a challenge. 

A two month separation made for an emotional good bye at the airport. 

I found a pair of convertible pants at the Ex Officio store in the terminal across from Anthony's. 

All went smooth until I caught the bus into downtown San Diego, the opposite direction I intended. After a $2.25, one hour bus tour of downtown, I was on the right track.

Jim was gracious in the wait for my arrival, meeting me at the bike shop where my transcontinental machine was assembled by Roger at Bernie's Bike Shop. 

After leaving the bike shop we got a head start on tomorrow's ride by doing the ceremonial touch the Pacific.
