Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted in... gosh, 2 weeks! We were in Colorado July 11-12; Kansas City July 13-15; Nashville July 16-17; and finally pulled in last Monday to Columbia, SC. We have a few more pictures to post, but I gotta somehow figure how to get it off my computer and on to one that goes on the internet... or just find a Wi-Fi hotspot.
Sarah should be updating her travelogue pretty soon here to cover the rest of the trip. To get up to speed on the trip, her travelogue is here!

We've been away from the internet for a whole week now... imagine that! We're in Moab, Utah right now, but I'm only able to upload the highlights of San Francisco.... check out Sarah's blog for an update there as well!

Trip Update

Many more photos are online. Go to flickr to see them all. This is my favorite one of the day, and possibly of the trip so far. Sarah snapped it while we were driving to dinner in Sonoma, CA.
We miss you guys!
Interesting Coldplay quote
In the midst of all this trip stuff, here's an interesting quote from Chris Martin, lead singer of Coldplay:
There's a hidden track on X&Y, "Til Kingdom Come." That's so biblical of you.
"A Message" and "Til Kingdom Come" both come from having quite a religious upbringing. "A Message" is taken from a hymn we used to sing called "My Song Is Love Unknown," and we'd say "kingdom come" every week in the Lord's Prayer. One of the great things about being forced to go to church services is that we'd sing all these big songs. That's partly why I'm obsessed with getting everyone to sing along at our shows. It makes me feel like I'm a part of something.

Another day, many more photos!
It might look like these are all from the same day, but it's only because we've gotten so much time at free wi-fi spots! 10 new photos hot off the camera... more to come

We're actually waiting for traffic to pass for road construction. Pretty amazing first glimpse of the forest with the mist and all.

We stopped to get a look at the coast... not very impressive from our perspective, but check out Sarah's awesome bike capris!

Our butts had been only somewhat kicked by this point. Little did we know what lay ahead! Beautiful day on the beach, but tough to get a good photo... good self-portrait though!

There was a hollowed out section between these trees... big enough to ride through if it had actually gone somewhere!

When we had left Prairie Creek State Park, we (along with many other cars of people) got to see some elk eating next to the road...

Goonies House

After much searching, we found my #1 choice for places to find on the trip... the house where they filmed the beginning of "The Goonies" (and location of the infamous "Truffle Shuffle"). We had to ask our waitress how to find it; it's at the very edge of town. We found the street to get up there, and there's a big hand-made sign: "PRIVATE DRIVE". I'm sure that we aren't the first to come to this neighborhood with our purpose.

Finally at the Pacific Coast, Sarah gets to touch this ocean (she's seen it from Peru and Alaska, but never in the Continental US.)... check out our low-rider of a Jeep!

Beautiful bike ride on a very "pacific northwest" kind of day... foggy, misty, gray... perfect for 8 miles of bike riding!

Perfect day (but long walk) to get this shot... definitely recommend this as a stop on your way to anywhere...
