There are too many highlights to remember already from these two days, but we have met so many kind people that want to chat with us about what we’re doing and where we’re going. A man on a scooter pulled off the road to tell us about a good bakery. A construction worker on the street let us squeeze through a closed street while she kept the traffic stopped. Dozens of people have waved and smiled. A youth screamed to his friends, THAT GUY HAS A GOPRO!

The hills have felt pretty rough so far, and they’ll get worse—but we’ll get stronger! We’re both pretty sunburned and sore. But laying in our tent right now, under pine trees, listening to birds, smelling the ocean, housing an entire sleeve of Oreos without consequence, life feels pretty good.
