So... our vacation from vacation is over (I thought that that was well put Tina)... three awesome days in San Francisco have finally come to an end and we were dropped with our bikes back on the road by dad Spittler this morning.It felt a bit weird, admittedly, to be back in the saddle again after wearing jeans and staying up late all weekend. However, both the road and the weather were forgiving of our Bambi legs and gave us a really easy re-introduction to our tour.
Our 56 mile day ended in good ole Santa Cruz and now that I am lounging on sister Spittler's couch, watching t.v. and eating ice cream, I'm realizing that things are getting pretty luxurious on this journey of ours. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to go back to roughing it with the thieving raccoons, mosquitoes, and sleep without pillows.
In other news, Tina and I are finally starting to successfully morph into one being, and I am excited to be able to post a picture of our progress. This is going to make these ridiculous long distance trips of ours so much easier. That nickname of "two-headed monster" can finally be a reality!
Now that the countdown to San Francisco is over, it has officially become the countdown to Mexico. Which is quickly approaching... and will possibly be achieved on the 26th anniversary of my birth. (That's just a heads up for anyone who may have forgotten to pencil it in on their calenders...)
Thanks Kate and Kevin for putting me up in the city, and papa Spittler and Noel for putting us up in the east bay! It was near impossible to leave... I almost put down roots in the bay again.
