Day 77 -- June 16, 2003 -- Monday

We extended our visit today with son Ryan in San Francisco. We decided to add a day in San Francisco to take care of various "housekeeping chores." I took the day to try to catch up on the web site photos. Boz and Ryan got the oil changed in the PT Cruiser, but we learned that we needed a minor brake repair, so we will have to get that done tomorrow.

It seems we may also be able to help Ryan with his business. So, it looks like we will spend a couple of extra days in San Francisco. We don't get to San Francisco often, and we'd just flat like to spend more time with The Dude (aka Ryan). We are changing our flight arrangements for Alaska as a result.

We planned to get it all figured out tomorrow.

I worked until 2:30 am, and I finally had photos posted to the web site with captions through today! We envy those parents who have their children and grandchildren living near them. This is one of the things that we did not recognize or appreciate in regard to our parents.

The Daily Journal of Round America:

Each day, we collect our thoughts on a web page just like this. We drop in some of the photos from the day. Our goal with the Daily Journal is to write about the towns we visit, the sights we see, the people we meet, and the pie we eat. We write about where we are, where we've been, and where we are going, but we also make observations about what we've seen and done as well as about life in general.

You can follow our travels from the Daily Journal section of this web site. Other pages of interest include the running report of "vital statistics" on the Trip Scorecard, our nominations for the Best & Worst of the trip, as well as a rating of the pie we eat.
