Day Eighteen
A tour of the Big Room at Carlsbad Caverns, where it was a cool 55ยบ, and then a glance at the temperature outside, where it was slightly hotter.

Our newest addition
We picked up a hitchhiker along the way (I won him in Vegas by throwing a dart at a balloon.) His name is Wallace. For those of you who are big Veronica Mars fans, "Except I want my teddy bear won through some demonstration of ring tossing ability." I should have named him Logan.

Day Fifteen
A quick romp through LA -- the Hollywood Sign, stars--but no celebrities, and sk8rs at Venice Beach. Spock and Kirk are for you, Dad.
Day Fourteen
San Francisco -- started off rough, with a fruitless two hour walk to try to get ourselves onto the Golden Gate Bridge, but got better as the day progressed. Ghirardelli Square (the plaza, not the tasty treat), delicious (undocumented) clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl for lunch at Fisherman's Wharf, a ride on the cable cars, Chinatown, City Lights Books (a beat-haven), the "Painted Ladies" so prominent in the Full House intro, and a drive over the Golden Gate Bridge (to make up for the morning), with a stop at Vista Point to see it in all its glory.

Day Twelve (?)
Just a few shots of the Pacific. It seems endless.
Tomorrow: wine tasting in Napa Valley.
Starfish!
My super cool cousin Susan, who hosted us for two nights in northern California, in Arcata, took us to this gorgeous beach this morning, where we found these adorable starfishes.
A big thanks to Sue for showing us a good time and welcoming us into her home.
