During the final leg of our journey, we rode through Del Mar, Torrey Pines (a 300' hill that reminded Sharla of earlier climbs), La Jolla, Pacific Beach, San Diego, National City, Chula Vista, San Ysidro and Tijuana. Near the end, Ed was figuring maybe we didn't need to cross the border but Sharla said we couldn't say we went from Canada to Mexico if we didn't cross the border. That was about a 3 hour process--hour to get into Mexico, spent less than half an hour in Tijuana, and the rest of the time in a long line to get back in U.S. Sharla's sister, Cindi, met us in San Ysidro after we got back across the border with her truck to give us a ride to our Mom's place in El Cajon. It is hard to believe our journey has been completed and Ed's dream accomplished.
Way to finish well, and not give up short of your goal! You will appreciate crossing the border as you look back on your journey. Way to go Ed and Sharla!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! You have met your goal, inspired so many, learned more things than you realize at this time. Well done, good friends!! (Sharla, I do NOT plan to follow in your footsteps... much to Craig's disappointment - but I'm incredibly impressed with what you both have accomplished!)
ReplyDeletethis is the area where I grew up, We lived in Encinitas area, so I know LaJolla well and Torrey Pines and all. Miss seeing that.
