We stayed a second day in Santa Cruz to do laundry, rest for a bit, and visit the boardwalk. Laundry was blaise of course, but the boadwalk was fantastic. I ate a doughnut the size of my face and it was delicious, as well as picked up some random shark toys to go with the T-Rex mounted on my bike.
Santa Cruz is a nice place. It would be kind if a blast to open a motorcycle shop or something here.
Tomorrow we will continue on. I might be able to visit my brother, near Los Angeles. Depends on how much time it takes and how tired we are. Threw some more photos into the album. My buddy cuddling me as I'm trying to sleep, him later impersonating me (middle fingers up!) on camera, us waiting in line at an excellent Mexican restaurant. Hope you enjoy the little glimpses of the trip.
