To San Diego

Woke up at 5:45 and changed the laundry over so it would be done in time to leave by 7...except my comrades were under the influence of last night and were unable to wake up.

Finally got up around 10 and cleaned the house with the help of the stragglers from the BBQ, then packed up, cooked a french toast and bacon breakfast and headed out around noon. I had the first shift of the road trip again...and this time I didn't stall leaving the driveway!

Stopped to get lunch (about 3 hours after breakfast) and switched drivers. Got back on the road with Amber at the wheel. She only stalled once. We won't make fun of her til next week, at least :)

I resumed my typical status of passed out in the back seat. Woke up passing L.A. Saw the Disney Amphitheater by Gehry from the highway...continued to eat the freshly picked cherries and strawberries from San Jose...

After all of the traffic and the two stops along the way, we made it to San Diego around 9 pm...entirely too late to meet up with Sara Cooke before her night shift but in time to get Mexican food with Maile who then took us to a bonfire at her old apartment complex with friends. It was a good time, really nice and talkative people, and guitars...which always make people happy :)

My yawning was a sure sign that we needed to get going...sorry team :-/ luckily we were awake enough to walk ourselves to the car. The word "gleak" offered opprtunity for a good convo as did our proximity to the border. Time to crash. Vegas tomorrow. Ridiculous.
