We’re finally on our road trip! Last night, we stopped in at Santa Rosa to visit some old friends Dave and Amanda. It has been so much fun. We had a beer at Russian River Brewery and then out to dinner. Later, we hit up this great beer garden where we got a free magic show from a local magician, Ron Blair. Amanda spotted him across the way and Dave asked him to do some tricks for us. It was amazing! This morning, I’m sitting in Coffee Catz, an awesome coffee shop in Sebastopol where Amanda works. She’s roasting coffee and we got to watch and learn a bit. So interesting. Next, we’re headed up the coast to Johnny and Alyssa’s in Arcata.
Outside of Coffee Catz, there’s a small tree with a sign asking people to fill out a tag with what you’re grateful for and hang it on the tree. I’m grateful for “Friends and road trips.”
Freshly roasted coffee smells soooo good!
From my observations, New York City consists of a sea of individuals, dressed in black, all in a hurry to get somewhere… all the time. I just got back on Saturday. What a fun trip it was!
