I’ve taken like three photos of Santa Cruz so far. Here are two:

The view from the roof

The sunset on the beach

In fact, I’ve taken more photographs of food than of Santa Cruz. But that’s because I have been playing the master chef over the past few days. Here’s a few of my masterpieces:

Pizza Dough!

Pizza Preparation!

Finished product!

Bacon!

Grease!

Epic English Muffin!

More ingredients!

Okay I’m glad that I’ve gotten that out of the way.

I’ve been doing a lot of cycling in the past few days. In each of the last three days I’ve ridden around 3 hours, climbed many thousands of feet, and consumed more protein than I have in all of December.

I’m doing a pretty good job recovering day to day but my lack of endurance is catching up with me beyond 2 hours on the bike. Today is an easy day and I expect to be going better from Wednesday on. Eran and I have planned a pretty tough 4 days to finish off the trip.

Okay, off to the bicycle!
