We woke up a bit later than usual due to the very noisy campground the night before. We were one site in from the highway and the train tracks. After we had gone to bed, two separate RVs pulled into the campsites beside us and one even ran into the trees separating our site from theirs.
We had a great breakfast while we waited for the fog to clear. Unfortunately, this meant a wet tent. The fog lifted and we left the campground.
Several miles later, we encountered the fog yet again, at the Torrey Pines Reserves. We did manage to have a look at the pines, as this is one of the only places in the world you can find them. Apparently, the special thing about these pines is that they have 5 pronged needle bunches (I have a feeling this is not the technical term for this…).
After that, we turned inland and headed toward Sandy and Tom’s place. We went past University of California San Diego, a large industrial area, a marine corp base and a long shopping district, all lined with bike paths. We spent several hours at Starbucks updating the blog and are looking forward to our visit with Sandy and Tom this evening.
We are planning on making a trip down to the border in the next couple of days for a photo op and then time for celebration!!!
Update:
We had a great time at Sandy and Tom’s and were welcomed with open arms. We met Paul, Allie, and Zack and had a great time! Thank you so much guys!!
