Eureka!! Eureka!! We have found it. This is what the gold miners, European explorers and settlers shouted when they arrived in California, the land of gold, the seedless watermelon, fortune cookies, the Internet and 1200 miles of Pacific Coast.
Now I can understand why Spanish explorers and missioners made a serious attempt to settle the land and why 1821 Mexico ruled California.
We are in free spirited and vibrant San Francisco right now and enjoying the gorgeously restored Victorian homes, the attraction of the Golden Gate Bridge and the multi culti. Have I mentioned the picturesque views created by the city's 1000 hills.
But now I have to turn the time back and share the experiences we had in Sedona with our dear friends Kate and Aaron.
Aaron was so kind and organized a very cosy house with a fire place, plenty of room to stretch our old bones and a scenic view of the cathedral rock formations. We spend our time with home cooking, hikes to unexplored vortexes and trying to feel the energy fields. Also choosing the hottest day to hike and borderline dehydration didn't help to find the power fields. I think we had our own spirits with aliens wearing dotty underwear, knots in there t-shirts and plenty of sun lotion.
On Saturday we decided to take a biplane scenic tour to see the mesas from the bird prospective.
As you can see we made sure to wear the protective helmets in case of an emergency.
The majestic rock formations appeared even bigger from above. Wonderful idea.
And after the flight it took Till just an hour of meditation and deep breathing to get the green shades out of his face.
After a sad good bye ceremony we head west to the promised land. Arrived in Santa Cruz met with Philipp and his family, Till's former boss and friend. A charming town with delicious dining opts., eucalyptus trees and shouting seals.
After discovering that I was riding already on the metal mesh wire of the tire we decided to purchase a new set of tires. That was quite an educational discovery. So you can actually ride on mesh for miles and miles. Just avoid rain. Also not to try at home!!!
The coast line is just mesmerizing and there is really just one and only way to experience the rough cliffs and that is on a bike. On the way up we passed a carpet of about 50 giant elephant seals which can weigh up to 2, 5 tons. Very interesting how these masses try to move, just imagine 2,5 tons of Pudding with fins times 50.
Tomorrow I will try to run across the Golden Gate Bridge and then we will ride further North towards Seattle to feel some rain.
So my dear friends it is again time for my beauty sleep.

Coming down 280 from Half Moon Bay towards San Jose..the boys are in the outer lane patiently waiting for traffic to clear....then out of the blue comes Zennie Schumacher on her BMW Turbo GTI in the inner lane, screaming past everyone... and let's just say she set a new highway speed record ;)
Zennie, you are one cool chick. We hope to see you soon again.
My dear friends in Santa Cruz,
I maybe set the record for over 35 that afternoon but you set the MACH record. You passed me and then way later I heard the nasty sound of your Triumph. Don't do that again!!!!!
We both miss you and thinking about you, hope everything is fine with the family. Good Luck!!!! Wir druecken die Daumen.
