In Stinson beach, Quinn's Aunt's beach house was a great relief from the RVs. We really enjoyed the house's unique structure, quality, and sleeping in real beds. Her aunt was a great cook and made all of us feel at home. Although the water was freezing we all still enjoyed each others' company...and the hot tub.
San Francisco was an unusual yet unforgettable experience. We got to walk around fisherman's wharf for a couple hours, eat at the famous In-N-Out Burger, and take the cable car to Chinatown. In Chinatown, we traveled around all the different shops trying new foods and getting a taste of their exotic lifestyle. After we left the city, we hit, as The Preservationsists call it, "the whale restaurant" and met some new interesting people. Amoung those people are a softball coach and a couple surfer dudes. It was a pretty fun experience.
Today we went to the Channel Islands, which should sound familiar if you've read the book Island of the Blue Dolphins. We had an amazing tour guide named Aaron. He really inspired us to make the most of this trip amd life in general. Also he made us want to finish Travels With Charley. Aaron told us about how he got where he was, the book he is writing, and how he's going to sail around the world soon. If Aaron is reading this, everyone on this trip says thanks for what you taught us, including the fact that we're never done learning. On the boat ride we saw over a thousand dolphins, fierce sea lions, and cute seals. It was quite a day.
