Driving
I’ve written before about how poorly suited I am for California. I’m not rich, thin, tan, I can’t speak Spanish, I don’t do shorts and I find too many choices overwhelming. And of course I don’t drive. These are the reasons I haven’t bothered to visit before. They are similar to my fickle reasons for not visiting Amsterdam “Don’t do weed or canal boats. Don’t like Van Gogh. End of”. But ten years later I was convinced that none of that mattered. Except the driving - having just one person do it all meant that it was a completely different experience for us both. Alex did amazingly well even when a 70 mile drive took us 4 hrs on labor day weekend. But I wouldn’t choose to do it like that again. So with those two notes aside I’ll get on with actually telling you about my trip. Well tomorrow anyway. Jx
