Adventures with Luna: Day 9 - Doran Beach, Bodega Bay

We spent a relaxing morning taking a walk on the beach and getting all set to go. A woman I had seen many times over the course of the two days approached me with a smile and said "So you're from Canada!", she must have seen me at my campsite with my Alberta license plate, that or I am becoming "the Canadian" in town. Luna is feeling much better today and the medications seem to be doing their job well. We stopped in at a McDonald's parking lot this afternoon on our way to San Francisco to use some free wifi to update my blog and decide where to head next and what the most efficient routes to take would be. I was finishing up when I realized my arrival time in San Francisco would be around 3 pm, right when rush hour might start, that sure hurried me up.

We had a quick stop at one of the viewpoints of the Golden Gate Bridge. It was a beautiful sight, however I could not help feeling sad for all the lives lost from it. I did see call boxes with numbers of help lines on them around the bridge.

Carmel was supposed to be just under 3 hours away, however we were stuck in San Francisco rush hour for that amount of time, we finally pulled in to our campsite at 8 pm. In 2012 my brothers and I road tripped down this way for a couple weeks and stopped in at Carmel. I had had nothing to do with the planning of that trip so hadn't realized when I booked the most economical, dog friendly campsite in Carmel that I had booked the same place we had stayed at before, it was a pleasant surprise to pull in and realize that. When we were here last, my brother, Sean, jokingly said "There's a spider on your foot!" and then realized there actually was, thus resulting in my immediate panic and resulting feeling of having bugs crawling all over me the entire time I am here 3 1/2 years later; yes, I dwell on things. The campsite very impressively has wifi so I can do my online stuff in the comfort of my bed.
