welcome to san diego.

We finally made it. After eight days on the road we have reached our destination. Sunny San Diego. Which unfortunately at the moment is overcast. My roommate kindly informed me that it was supposed to be "70 and sunny every day", apparently I mentioned that few times...but there is something known as "June gloom" of which I was unaware. Still, it's beautiful. I'm in a tank top and uncomfortably hot at the moment. I'm sitting in a Panera Bread looking out into a parking lot of shiny cars and palm trees. I'm going to go ahead and say that the residents of the Solana Beach area are doing fairly well. Their neighbors in Rancho Santa Fe even better. As much as I love consumerism and concrete, I am eagerly anticipating my journey to the ocean. Located 1.1 miles from here. About a twenty minute walk to the ocean. No big deal. Life will be hard for the next two weeks I'm sure. I am postponing this venture to the beach however to finish my lukewarm hazelnut coffee and to transcribe some of the journey had thus far. There are a lot of miles between Grand Rapids, Michigan and Solana Beach, California that come with a lot of stories. Especially when you are watching the odometer whirl with one Rachel Prince. So, because I have been procrastinating for far too long and I will be able to fully enjoy the pacific shoreline after having expressed some thoughts, the next few posts are a chronicle of "Plan B: an epic roadtrip across america".
