Good morning from Truckee, CA! It's so wonderful to wake up knowing that a: I am in California; b: I do not have to rush; and c: I have only a three hour drive to Berkeley today.
Strangely, I woke up at 5am, wide awake. I couldn't go back to sleep so I watched local news and surfed around. After having breakfast on the phone with Miriam, I took a wonderful shower and started packing up my things. The whole time I'm packing, I'm smelling the sweet sweetness of coffee someplace. And it smells soooo good. I got dressed, packed up the car a bit and went into the front desk to find three big things of delicious coffee. I had to get some stuff at a drug store, and the woman at the front said "yep, you sure can WALK there". So I did. I took a cup of coffee with me and walked. The weather feels so wonderful outside. It's cloudy and will rain any second, but it's about 55 or so and just wonderful. Being up in these mountains surrounded by trees, it's just an incredible way to wake up. I'd highly recommend you all come here and stay at this place. Just wonderful.
I wanted to say another thing about Dorothy too. K-Lo & Nelly: the ONLY reason I found a gas station (needed it) and this wonderful Inn is because of Dorothy. I pulled over and asked Dorothy what was the closest hotel around. She is the only reason I am not in a Day's Inn or some other crappy place. This was a WONDERFUL gift you gave me. Thank you thank you thank you!
Next I will go get my first real meal since Monday night. Eeeks. It's been too long. I'm going to some restaurant on Donner's Pass called Smokey's or something. I asked the woman at the front where she would send her sister for her first real meal in 4 days. She said Smokey's.
I'll snap a bunch of pictures today and post later -- from Berkeley I suppose. It's crazy how fast this all went. I wonder when I'll start freaking out about the fact that I'm starting a new job on Monday. Cripes.
Love you all!
