Day 19 - bridges and birds

today we rode from Mill Valley to Santa Cruz...ish

Miles:  52.04
Elevation Gain:  2,829

Nathaniel's Aunt Victoria joined us for about 15 miles today. She guided us to and across the Golden Gate Bridge and then through the Presidio and through some neighborhoods.  This was after she and her husband Grant cooked us dinner and hosted us for the the evening.  It was great to get to know them and we greatly appreciated their hospitality.

During the night, a limb from a 100+ year old Catalpa Tree.  The tree was rotting from the inside out and the limb fell on a Volvo.  The city crews had it cleaned up and the street open within a couple of hours.

Victoria left after she joined us all for lunch on the beach and then we just rolled down the coast.

The roads were good today and no other surprises.  Mona and Nathaniel did great navigating through the City as I know they were worried about losing us or each other.  They did great and were both very relieved to be done with today.

Saturday, tomorrow, is Nathaniel's last day with us.  His week has flown by and he will be missed.

Some cool houses in SF.

This guy continues to amaze me.  Thanks Dad for being a great example of dedication, perseverance and a father.
