san francisco, ca

I took the ferry into SF with devin on the 28th of september, just missing my birthday and now I'm downstairs from my old apartment on clement street in sf. i went about 3,500 miles in (unless i counted wrong) 48 days, 49 if you count the first day. my knees and wrists are in pain at most times, but since devin and i went on so many flats, i already felt much better than i did in utah. everyone asks me a hundred questions about how and why i did this and the tan lines from my gloves look funny. I woke up late, got a haircut and a shave and a clean shirt on.

it's nice to wake up in a place i really want to stay in for a few days, a place where you can get fresh vegetables and all the other coastal finery. i looked at my bike today but i am definitely not riding it or touching it for another day at the most. SF is the greatest city on earth so i'll bring a camera with me and take some pictures of me having fun. i got lifted up on joe and peter's shoulders and got a hero's welcome ("for he's a jolly good fellow" etc) but I don't think there are any pics of it out there, I'll do my best to find them though cause a pic of that would be a good final entry for this journal.
