Today we woke up to a sunny day in a homely hostel, and made some delicious sourdough pancakes. We met John, a friendly fellow-hosteler, and learned about his time in the Navy and Marines. We packed up and headed to a nearby bike shop. We got lunch at Trader Joe's and learned how to juggle lemons in the parking lot. The group biked through strawberry fields, vineyards and horse farms to arrived in Santa Maria. We even saw (a cardboard cutout) Smokey the Bear alongside the road! Although our campground was closed, in an unexpected treat, we're staying in a motel tonight! We're excited to continue the adventure and camp again tomorrow!
