Day 48 (October 7, 2006) - Eureka, CA | |||
|
Petr: I am in Eureka, and after a quick visit to the town I am ready to go to see the sequoias in Humboldt State Park and drive on the famous avenue of the Giants. Eureka is similar to Arcata, a sleepy college town. The Avenue of the Giants is incredible, for a moment I even thought I could bike it and make Laura proud of me, but it was just a fleeting thought. Luckily I didn't - it turned out to be quite hilly and challenging! Laura and Francesca: despite my best efforts, I could not get up as planned at 6:00 for a bike ride, instead I turned off the alarm clock and fell back to sleep. It's a gorgeous day, seldom seen in MA in October. It's warm and sunny. Francesca and I are out and about all day getting things done. Haircuts in the afternoon, with our friends Stefano and Grazia. Francesca then goes to dinner at her grandparents' and I gladly accept an invite at the Bellezzas. Fun evening catching up with the latest and greatest news - and great food, as usual! Thank you for a great evening! I get home pretty late and I know that tomorrow morning I won't get up again for a ride. Although, everything is ready just in case... |
