I realize I never provided a detailed log of my travels in California. In a nutshell, it included sightseeing, the beach, eating, drinking, and hiking. The culminating point was Bay 2 Breakers, which was a blast. It's a race in SF that goes from the bay to the breakers (how crazy!) but, its basically a giant walking party albeit a party that starts at 7:30 in the morning. People have all sorts of crazy costumes. I was pulled into a group by my friend A that did the alphabet. The group was so big, it included punctuation, so I was the hyphen. (see picture). Although the course closed before we made it to the breakers, a few of us were not to be deterred and we pushed on to the breakers (where the weather was freezing--a sharp contrast to the weather when we left the bay).
