Oh my goodness. Who knew that having to take time off could be so enjoyable!
Deciding we needed to take some time off to the heal the feet was a bummer (it puts us behind schedule and the friends we made), but it is also part of the overall journey and something to embrace, not regret. So sitting outside the Greyhound office in Banning waiting for the bus to come, and hoping we could get on it, was part of the experience.
Once in LA Liz's mom and aunt picked us up at the bus station and took us to Bill and Kena's where at 10 pm a delicious dinner was waiting for us. Liz's family has housed us, fed us, and taken us wherever we have needed to go. Their care and support is beyond words. I have felt like part of the family.
Today we spent at the beach celebrating the birthdays of a couple of Bill and Kena's friends. Once again being welcomed in as if we are part of "the family."
I'm feeling guilty about how well I'm being treated and fed during our down time. I'm not complaining though!
Looks like you are making the best of it! Maybe it was meant to be. Nothing wrong with a BBQ on the beach. Just keep resting those feet and soon you will be back on the trail!
