Goodbye elephant seals!
In the morning Julie spent some time talking and going over the route with our newest walker, Lhamo, who had flown in the previous day from Amherst. Lhamo is a wonderful addition to our group!
We gathered at the Piedres Blancas vista point where we had ended the day before, and bid farewell to the elephant seals, beginning the day's walk to the sounds of their inimitable snuffing and snorting. Peidres Blancas, by the way, is a huge white rock out in the sea, that is home to thousands of seagulls... guess what makes it white?
Dan Fields, our host for all the events in Cambria, met us at the roadside. He had a habit of jetting up to see us every so often in his little red convertible. He gave us directions to our next housing location, St. Paula's Episcopal Church. We spent three nights there in their fellowship hall, a single room with a linoleum floor. It was there that we discovered that certain types of stacking chairs can be arranged to create a very comfortable bed. Thank goodness for those of us without good sleeping pads!
The Episcopalians gave us a wonderful potluck supper the first night we were there. We wereespecially grateful for Dan's wife, Sara, who arranged much of our visit at the church. She is a true goddess of compassion and love. We also thank all of the congregation for their support, and of course, their minister Kathy.
