Day 142: Tuesday, August 30, 2011

We made several stops in California including the Hearst Castle, Solvang, a city founded by Danes in the early 1900s that retains its Danish heritage, and the world famous Andersen’s Restaurant where we had their split pea soup.  After spending a few days in San Diego sight-seeing and visiting friends, we drove through the Mojave Desert to Las Vegas where we will meet Zach.  Bob loves Las Vegas and this is a great place to relax and unwind after supporting me for the last 4 plus months.  It is hot, hot, hot here so I got up very early and bicycled about 16 miles before 8 am.  It felt good to be back on the bicycle after a two-week hiatus.  I was a bit worried about being burned out after bicycling so many miles, but fortunately, I still love it.

  1. The garden at the castle looks beautiful even without the Pacific Ocean in the background. What a marvelous trip you've had!
