San Diego - the end?

It is Sunday 6th March and we have been in San Diego for nearly a week. We are staying in the area north of San Diego. We had a few days in La Jolla (pronounced La hoya) and we are now in Solano beach. Apart from the wide busy roads the area is lovely (are there any quiet winding scenic roads in CA?). The coastline is stunning and La Jolla cove is home to huge colonies of seals and pelicans. We are using the time here to do some miles on the bike - we have cycled from Lo Jolla to Leucadia (a 30 mile round trip). The day after we cycled the loop around Mission Bay (20miles) and yesterday we cycled up to Oceanside and back which was a total of about 50 miles. Our minds are beginning to turn to coming home...and we are filled with strong feelings  - sad that our adventure is coming to an end but excited and nervous about what our return home will hold for us. Our final 10 days will probably involve a trip to Palm Springs and a few days in LA checking out some of the obvious sights there.

This may well be our final blog from abroad so thanks to everyone who has taken an interest in our escapades and/or who has been helpful or kind to us. Your interest and kindness has meant a great deal so smooth sailing to you all and godbless. Much love Mark and Caroline xxxx
