Day 0

Today has been truly wonderful.We arrived in stunning California this afternoon after a very easy going and trouble free plane ride. (And I mean, how often does that happen?) Although I did get patted down for the first time! They said it was because I had zippers in my pants. . . Back to the arrival. Nick's cousin Laurie came to pick us up from the airport and immediately greeted us with big hugs and lots of laughter. This was then followed up by some delicious Mexican food served by one of the nicest and most genial waitresses I've ever had. The rest of this day has been spent rearranging our packs, taking naps and swapping stories with Laurie and her husband Ken. It honestly feels like I've known them my whole life. Thank you, Laurie and Ken, you are wonderful, bright, amazing people. I feel so blessed to be under your roof the final day before embarking upon this journey. We are leaving bright and early tomorrow to head to campo and hit the trailhead. Nick and I both have such a good feeling about this trail. Thank you, everyone who has supported us and helped us start this journey. Your love is not lost on these two crazy souls.


All the gear!

Meet the fluffiest kitty ever; Wallace!

Enchiladas Verdes. Yes, I think I will.
