A few words about California is a strange way to begin a blog about a trip to the Canadian maritime provinces and New England. But Joe and I have decided that our late summer adventure starts here at the Pacific Ocean and if all goes as planned will take us to the Atlantic. We are taking a few days to repack in Prescott.
We were in San Diego staying at Joe's mom's little beach house for ten days. The days here follow a pleasant pattern. Joe takes long bike rides in the morning and boogie boards in the afternoon. I take walks in the morning and sometimes I bike with Joe. My afternoons are spent reading on the beach or exploring the nearby shops. In the evenings we walk to a restaurant to eat seafood or Mexican food or spend time with friends and relatives. The weather was very cool this time with record low "highs".
A favorite bike ride of ours in San Diego is the Silver Strand bike path that goes from downtown Coronado all the way south to Imperial Beach, about 22 miles round trip. Sometimes we take our bikes on the ferry but this time
we drove over the famous Coronado bridge and parked our car near the Hotel del Coronado.
The ride is flat and scenic...beautiful homes, lots of shore birds, and a very long stretch of beach. Our reward is always lunch at a taco shop that has great food but we are mystified at how it passes the health inspections. We rode our bikes as far south as possible, to the edge of the Tijuana slough where Mexico is visible only a couple of miles away.
This entry is sort of a "test' for me to see if this all works.

Mike got down to mission beach yesterday briefly, so missed you, but your new trip looks great. Hope you will go to cape Breton or Newfoundland. Will expect to see you here next spring!
