I hope all your thanksgiving dinners were as delicious as mine was! Hannah and I joined Tyler's family in Santa Cruz for a wonderful feast, that included avocados and shrimp as well as the expected holiday foods. She and I have been laying low for the past few days, blowing our noses and being disgusting with our congested, sickly selves, but we're hopeful for our health to return to us by tomorrow, please. We've all been in Santa Cruz for about a week now, and though plagued by laziness, we have done some hiking, tree climbing, farmer's market-ing, and a whole lot of eating. Tiffany and Jordan went to San Diego (and Tijuana) for Thanksgiving. We haven't heard much of their adventure yet, but we expect some good stories to be told. It has been so nice to be here and see all my lovely friends again. Their generosity is unsurpassed. The weather yesterday here was unseasonably warm; seventy and sunny, which is weird because my body doesn't know whether to prepare for winter or spring or summer or fall. The surf was huge, and we walked over to the cliffs to watch the surfers at Steamer's Lane. I was also glad to get to talk with most of my family on the phone for the holiday, it reminds me how nice it will be to see everyone again!
We leave Sunday morning, to begin work on Kern Family Farm in North Fork, CA, which is east of Santa Cruz in the foothills of the Sierras. They have goats and pigs and dogs and children. They have greenhouses. They have at least ten other wwoofers. I am eager to get started on the next part of our journey, though it will mean once again saying goodbye to everyone here. I'm sure I'll be back sooner than expected, though. I can't seem to stay away from here for long.
