Jan 13, 2005 South Carlsbad State Park

We have been doing a very slow and easy migration south through California. Kept it at 200 to 250 miles a day and spent our sleeping hours in the parking lots of casinos and truck stops. Last night we were living it up in a Camping World parking lot. The price sure is right.

Finally we are south of the craziness of Los Angeles and ready to kick back for a few days. Obtained a disabled California State Park pass for Gary and we can stay at their sites for half price. For the next three nights we are perched atop a bluff, overlooking a popular surfing beach at South Carlsbad State Park. Beautiful sunset and it is so nice to finally feel sunshine and warmer air.

Sunday our big move will be to the San Diego KOA where we will spend 5 nights and join up with other "caravaneers" for our trip south into Mexico. Currently I am in a Starbucks using their "Hot Spot" for internet. Next to me is a table of mexican young men speaking spanish...boy am I a long time removed from my high school Spanish. Our communication on our trip south should be interesting...but I guess that is why we are traveling with a group.

Hope all is well with everyone else...take care and know the rains up north will stop "eventually".

Mi yama es Linda
Hasta la juego
