in cambria

i´m on a spanish computer with a really crappy key pad, and also it´s the library so i can´t upload photos.
being home was fun, but also made me feel totally insane because i was trying to see so many different people and coordinate meeting up with the other bike riders and what not. but over all it was good. it was really nice to spend time with my family and friends and what not.
right now i´m in cambria, which is south of big sur. it´s been gorgeous riding, with nice clifs along the coast. the fog has been really intense and totally controls the climate. sometimes the fog wins and it´s pretty cold, but then the sun will burn it off and it will get hot. erik´s girlfriend is here so he´s riding by himself so he can spend some more time with her. so right now i´ve been hanging out mostly with peter. it´s pretty fun hanging out with him. today we saw all these elephant seals, and peter got really excited about them. it was just me and him hanging out on this cliff over looking the beach, and there were probably almost 100 elephant seals down there. the giant males kept fighting with each other and then making all these snorting noises, and peter was like totally cheering for them and taking a zillion pictures as they bit each other in the neck and tried to drown each other. then we road a little further, and we saw a cow pasture that had a heard of zebras in it. i´m not kidding. it was totally insane.
peter is still speaking funny british english. today he was yelling at me about something called ¨strimming¨, which i eventually figured out meant weed wacking. then he wouldn´t believe me that we called it weed wacking and i had to ask this guy in the super market to convince him.
anyways.... we´ll probably take a zero day in l.a. and then head to san diego. hope everyone is good. love,
-Jessie

One time I saw elephant seals on hwy 1, so I pulled over to park and look at them. There were other people there, doing the same thing assumably. The Japanese tourist however were not doing the same thing. They were ignoring the elephant seals in favor of using their Hasselblads and Contax 645s to take pictures of the damn seagulls.
