Calif'onia dreaming

7:15 am, Houston, Tx

Well, here we are. Let me explain the situation for you. It's very early in the morning and we have been up for a few hours without eating anything. The restaurant next to McDonald's serves fat fried donuts and non toasted bagels. Let me tell you that a sausage & egg sandwich sounded very good, compared to the alternatives.

Anyway, with our bellies full, we continued on to our gate for our flight to San Francisco.

It's very interesting to see the landscape change a few thousand feet down below. From the luxurious vegetation of east Texas to the desert of west Texas, New Mexico, Arizona you finally get to California where the brown landscape become a little paler, with forests appearing here and there. Very pretty from up there in the sky!

We landed at around 10am. It's foggy outside, but I expected that. I also knew it was cooler in California, but I was in for a small surprise. Being from Canada, I thought I could endure 60 degrees temperature with a T-shirt, but I guess my last three months in 95 degree weather changed me a little. It's not cool here, it cold!

But the show must go on and we hop into our grand am rental car and hit highway one south toward Monterey, where we have a room waiting for us. Images like this one just above is what you can see along the road. Pretty (and cold.)

Stay tuned for some more stories about our trip. I don't know when I'll be able to write some more as our host south of here isn't connected to the world like we are. See you all later!
