Day 34/35

After Big Sur the landscape has been pretty flat making the miles go by much faster. Boyd, Guillaume, and I have finally been entering the Los Angeles Area. Malibu was the first suburb we went through. Here we passed through million dollar homes, Bentleys, and huge gardens along the coast. About 20 miles south we got into Santa Monica and biked through Venice Beach. 

About two weeks ago, Oren, the fellow biker I met at the beginning of my trip was bitten by a spider (possibly and brown recluse) and spent a week in the hospital. He got out fine and got a ride back to Santa Monica where he lives. We all met up with him and we got to spend the night in his home! We had a family dinner and french toast in the morning. I haven't been in a house for about months. I forgot about the awesome house concept. There is wifi, electricity, A/C, clean bathrooms, beds, TVs, and everything you need to live! 

Unfortunately, LA is the finishing point for Boyd so Guillaume and I are going to continue South without him. Thank you Oren for hosting us!

Yet another flat... An industrial nail tore through my Gatorskin. The new tube was popping out so Boyd put a Australian 5 dollar note to cover the hole.
