We did not have any particular plan today except to make sure that we were prepared to start the next part of our journey tomorrow. Our train leaves rather early (6:10 am) and it is a 30 minute walk to the train station.
A couple of days ago I realized that Chris our British cycling 'mate' might actually be passing through San Diego while we were still here. So through his blog on Crazy Guy On A Bike, I contacted him. Sure enough he was arriving in the city on Thursday and wanted to get together today to catch up on our experiences. For those of you who do not remember, Chris is from the United Kingdom and has cycled all over the world. We camped with him off and on north of San Francisco and rode with him the day we crossed the Golden Gate Bridge. He is on his way to Argentina, or as he likes to say, "somewhere south".
We had a great afternoon sitting in the Kansas City BBQ restaurant/bar swapping stories and solving all of the world's problems. FYI. One of the famous bar scenes from the movie 'Top Gun' was filmed here.
Chris has had a quite an adventure since we last saw him. He spent quite a bit of time in the Ventura and Los Angles area...no wonder we beat him to San Diego...because we all know it has nothing to do with our 'blistering pace'! Thanks Chris for sharing part of your journey with us. Your travels are truly inspiring. Good luck with the rest of your travels south...or wherever your journey takes you. We will be living 'vicariously' through your adventure.
