Portland to Redwoods: 6 hours.
Redwoods to Oakland on the Pacific 1/101/128: 12 hours.
The Bay Area is more beautiful than expected. California in general - more beautiful than expected. Yesterday we woke up in the Redwoods National Park. We ate breakfast at the Hiouchi Diner (oatmeal w/ raisins and walnuts for me, one egg, bacon, and one slice Texas Toast french toast for Camila), which was like a Northern Cali version of the Double R Diner in Twin Peaks.
It took us about 12 hours to drive from the Redwoods National Park to Oakland, but we took the scenic route, and it was absolutely stunning. I sent a text message to my boss, Arianne, about how spectacular the Redwoods are, and she replied, Nothing like trees older than Jesus to help you stop worrying about your career. Truer words.
My aspiration is to treat life like a big giant road trip: rolling with the punches, taking a good long think before acting, being ready and open, feeling wonder and surprise. It's all just one big adventure.
