To say that yesterday was packed full of adventure is an understatement. The day started off with a visit to Jorge and Billy's office. Followed by a hike up the local mountain, Jorge style. Victoria and I didn't make the epic climb, but we did make it to inspiration point (aptly named), while Dan, Tommy and Jorge headed up their own rocky trail. After our sojourn into the arid moutains surrounding SB, Victoria and Tommy were taught how to surf (wet suits and all) by Billy and Jorge. Dan and I watched in awe as Tommy stood and rode his wave into the shore, and as Victoria (who got beat up by a couple of waves) climbed back on and went on to master getting up on her knees (the pre-req to standing). If this wasn't enough of an adventure, Billy, Sandra, and Jorge took us to a local surf shop (Channel Island) where we sat on the back patio eating tacos and watched the world premiere of a new surfing movie under the stars. Wow is all I can say....
Unfortunately, all good things do come to an end and today we very sadly say good bye to the Southern and Central Coast of CA and head north to San Francisco. Over the last 4 and a half days, we have crossed the Mojave, swam in Malibu, walked where the stars go to receive their accolades, played in a mountain stream, surfed where many only dream of surfing, and most importantly... spent time with very dear friends, family really. We are an extremely lucky family.
BUT WAIT...The adventure continues...Hello San Fransico and more great friends and family!!! Yeah baby.. we are lovin' California...
