Not gonna lie, this day was harder than I thought. I'm homesick. I see the bunnies in the vinyards in Suisun City, the artichoke plants along the highway 80 bike route, the red tailed hawks overhead, and all I can think of is how I could see these things in my own backyard at home.
A quick breakdown by the numbers:
Modes of transportation utilized today: 4 (feet, car- returned the rental- BART and bike)
miles travelled: unknown, but estimated between 50-60 (fixed the magnet at Vallejo, so number tomorrow)
unique roadkill: a snake and a chicken. Didn't see what kind of snake, but it may have been a rattler, and I'm pretty sure it was a Buff Orington chicken in the bike lane. Just one.
random strangers I introduced to my blog this time around: 3 to date
Tomorrow's destination is still unknown. It's a balancing act to end a day at the base of the Sierra Nevada mountains. I'm pretty sure that will be two days from today.
Things I'm looking forward to:
easier navigation on a single highway
no right turn lanes
remembering my sunscreen tomorrow
calling my babies at home, sending them postcards.
actually getting the elevation and milage stats
climbing the Rockies
