Our Journey Has Begun!

Our journey has finally begun! We arrived safely in San Francisco after two weeks in Florida and New York. We have spent the past several days exploring the California coast. Despite the rainy conditions we managed to have a great time in the Bay Area. We reconnected with old friends went to a few house parties (one with a rooftop jacuzzi), visited the museum of the African Diaspora and saw the golden gate bridge. It was a fun time and we had lots of laughs. 

We stayed in the Castro (gay SF) with our gracious friends Colleen and Tim. - It was a gay old time! 

We bowled in Berkely where Laura smoked us with a high score of 126.  We even managed to help babysit some kids we never saw.  So far we have had Mexican food about 4 times in the past 7 days so we are getting ready for lovely Mexico.  We started our journey down the coast on the Pacific Coast Highway on the 2/17/09.  The following three days driving alongside the pacific were breathtaking. There was the ocean clear and blue and us cruising down the road in no other than a Chevy Impala.  The image of the open road will be permanently ingrained in our memory.
