Cycling with Sally

We still can't quite believe we are in San Diego and I still can't believe Roland convinced me to do the last video update - his argument being "what's the point of having a beard if you can't use it?", I didn't have much of a rebuttal!  We have spend four nights here in total; resting, doing chores, volunteering (see our 'Salvation Army Journal' page, getting to know our hosts and doing a little touch of sightseeing.  We had a couple of hours in Balboa Park which has many facets to it.  The parts we most enjoyed was the Historical Police Campaign and looking around the International village that had houses from different parts of the world showcasing their culture (including food).  Unfortunately neither Canada or New Zealand had a house!  We also took a walk up Mt Helix at sunset to enjoy the view of San Diego.  It's been a real pleasure spending the last few days with Linda, Dave and Paul.  We have felt very at home and cared for - they also spend a lot of time in Tijuana and have put our concerns at rest.  We cycle out tomorrow and will cross the border.  Hopefully our Spanish dramatically improves at top speed!  Keep us in your prayers and thoughts please...... we'll update again as soon as we're able........


....excuse me.... another big highlight of arriving in San Diego was receiving care packages from our parents in both New Zealand and Canada.  It was great opening them, getting a taste of Christmas and gorging ourselves on delicious chocolate - thanks Mum/Mom and Dad/Dad.
