We couldn't make it without you: http://www.warmshowers.org/. Actually meeting such a wonderful people was the best part of the road!!! Thanks Jay and Dan, Mark, Tom!
We are almost there!!! We just made a stop at Mill Valley, because we wanted to visit Greengulch Zen Center. It was nice. And we are at a very nice warmshower host here. Well actually the warmshower is more zen than the zen center. The Greengulch was too much profit oriented for us. Well the "in rome do as the roman do" proverb is very true, so in USA the zen is expensive. We could't afford to sleep there, but we enjoyed the place and the lecture. Unfortunately we missed the Zen meditation which begins at 8 every Sunday. If you nearby, it is worth visiting. Here are some zen moments for you to enjoy:-)
1200 km cycling. From Seattle to San Francisco (we skipped the cycling from Lincoln City to Eureka by a U-Haul truck). The Golden Gate Bridge was in total mist. Although all other days were completely sunny around our arrival. But it was very authentic this way. It is a lovely thing to arrive at San Francisco on a bike: a real paradise for cyclists. (except for the hills of course)
So here it is all our bad experiences so far: In the state parks of Oregon the hiker/biker camp side is too separated. It is kind of 'let's put these crazy guys far away from the lazy Americans who still prefer to ride a big cars....and it's no problem that we are getting too fat'. Come on.... there is still too many fat people in the US! It is high time to ride the bike. It must be the new fashion! America needs a little shake up from being too comfortable. Too much attachment here to cars. Can you tell me why? There is too much traffic on 101 for a relaxed riding. That is why we plan to skip a part of the road by car so that we can spend more time off the road. More soon...
