San Antonio blows.

So I've got about two pictures from Texas. 1977 miles, 34 hours of driving. Seriously, almost Two Thousand Fucking Miles. And I hate cars and driving in general. This trip was the opposite of the California trip transportation wise. Made it back to Omaha today in under 12 hours. Had to come back a day early for a job interview. Im tired as hell. Too tired to write anything very sensical. And Austin is as cool as its supposed to be. The rest of Texas is as bad as its supposed to be. Oh and why didnt I grab my camera Friday night.....

Texas can't hold em.

Austin has been pretty awesome so far, but we've managed to leave our cameras at Bill's the whole time. Your just gonna have to take my word that the Mexican karaoke bar in East Austin that we went to was totally awesome.

Santa Cruz / Wilder Ranch

I'm completely embarrassed to say this, but I'd never seen the ocean until I went to California. The Pacific, and California in General did not disappoint.

Wade and I standing on opposite cliffs taking pics of each other.

It was the headline that caught my eye.

"While riding bike in Bethpage, man catches fire, dies."


Sad story but I think 50% of journalism these days is in the headline. Another reason for you to quit smoking Bob.

San Francisco

As bike rides go, it wasnt anything special. But the whole trip from San Jose to Sausalito was pretty epic. When I was sittin on the train back to San Jose after 10 hours of travellin I just thought wow.. I just did that.

Wade dropped me off at the San Jose train station. Train from San Jose to San Francisco. Rented a bike in San Fran. Rode across the Golden Gate bridge to Sausalito. Took a boat back to San Francisco. Multi-modal transportation epic win.

Bridges/that f'n hybrid



Sausalito/What is that look on my face? Wheres the damn boat Im cold.

Japantown (wade's hood)

I now appreciate digital cameras. I think a digital slr is in my future. Its been a while since I tool out ye olde film slr and well, the pictures from Cali turned out pretty good, but Walgreens processing totally sucks. Color is off, all kinds of artifacts, very grainy and the images on the cd arent even close to the prints. Oh well. Im not gonna bother scanning the prints even though they look much better than the digital copies they gave me. Here we go with the pic posting.

Home base for the trip was Wade's apartment in Japantown. Pretty sweet.



Japantown was pretty cool, nothing too exciting to take pictures of but it was a real nice little pedestrian/downtownish area with all kinds of crazy sushi and asian cuisine places. Im not a big fan of sushi, but the place we went with the sushi boats was pretty awesome. Here is the cool budhisht temple a few blocks from Wade's.

So Im having a good time in California.



So is Wade.

Laugh all you want.

I spent all day on this piece of junk hybrid in San Francisco and it was Awesome. Im using my film camera on this trip so no real photos till i get back.

wtf'

They say there's no such thing as an atheist in a fox hole. I say theres no such thing as an atheist cyclist hoping for good weather in San Francisco on Friday.

Omaha Forecast for Friday: Partly Cloudy, High 55, low 30.

San Francisco Forecast for Friday: AM Showers, High 53, low 45.

Yeah theres a big difference in low temps, but please shoot me if the weather in Omaha is better on the one day this year i chose to ride from San Francisco across the golden gate bridge to Marin County.
