Fortuna, CA, an Appropriate Name

We've camped in Fortuna for the night, on Ken's lawn. We enjoyed many stories and a few beers with this seasoned bicycle tourer. Good weather has us making great progress, and our hopes of being able to ride all the way to SF are alive again. I took my stitches out this evening (a mostly painless process, besides the one stitch that went through a nerve), and we made a most ghetto phad-thai out of angle-hair pasta, ginger root, and peanut butter (with whatever spices we could scrounge from the mostly bare cupboards). Again, we are ridiculously well cared for.

We've gotten to delve into a lot more relational difficulty the last few days, and at this moment, I can look back on it and say that it's been good. Pretty fast turn-around, and I'm grateful for it.

Note from Fer-
Sleep is glorious, food is magnificient, and it's time for bed.

Here are a few pics:

Making our way into California, better late than never.

Thank you so much, to you who are praying for us, and have encouraged us to do this. We are very much running on reserves of encouragement at times.

Love!
