Sadly we said goodbye to Carolyn, Beth and Laura, as their route will change as Carolyn has to fly back for work. Hopefully we'll reunite in the Pacific NW.

We arrived at our little hotel late in the afternoon. There's a view of the ocean and built in entertainment – an African Grey parrot on the balcony across the street. Just hanging out while waiting until 9:00 for dinner.
