Beach Ride

Hello all,

Well, we haven't updated our blog these past two weeks because most of the time has been spent with family. Even I do not have the heart to send family pictures!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! For those of you with children, I'm just kidding and keep sending me pictures.

Darren and I did go off on a few exertions and one became an adventure. Best I did not have my camera, I ruined my razor phone. We went bike riding on the beach, it was so awesome. We rode for miles without seeing any other people. It was like we were in some movie about the end of the world or something. This seems to be very common here, nobody goes to the beach and it is so beautiful!!

We were cruising right along, passing multiple sea lions sun bathing on the beach, when eventually we ran into a retired German couple who were lost. They asked us where they were, we answered we were going to ask them the same thing and we all had a laugh. When we found the trail they were looking for we stopped so we could mark it for them. By the time Darren got finished making his 20' sign out of driftwood, they caught up and it ended up we visited with them for about an hour. They were lovely people.

On the way back the adventure began. I tell ya, I just got a master's degree in something, what was it? Nursing? Gerontology? Cross Stitch? We are so lame. I guess you need to pay attention to the tide or something around here because it was really close to where we were riding before we stopped. And the wind!!! Doesn't it change direction when we do? Well, it should!!!

Darren tried real hard to get out of working hard on our return ride, but Tracy prevailed!!! He even walked down a trial head for about 20 mins. trying to find an easier way home. However, he came back with a harem, all from different States. He knew a little too much about them by the time he returned to me. I need to follow up on that. We see two sets of people all day and one of them has to be a group of 20 something hotties.

Anyway, we were in a lot of trouble when we came to the mouth of the river where it dumps into the ocean. It was no longer ankle deep, it was more than waist high. Let's just say my breast served as flotation devices (Jeff stop picturing), and I needed them!!! The hell with my couple thousand dollar new bike I'm saving myself!!! I hadn't been too concerned when we first reached the mouth because I figured I would walk around the deepest part. However, they have a lame ass law protecting these stupid birds and we couldn't go around the way I wanted, so I had to risk my life for a damn bird. Who's ever heard of a snowy plover anyway? Damn tree huggers!!

Anyway, my phone was in my pocket so if you want to reach me call Darren's phone at (510) 673-2556.
