Passing through Santa Cruz

Having a good bike trip. Cloudy and cool here in Santa Cruz.

Not a lot of folks on the beach, but that's okay. Will head out to Monterey next.

Most nights, I have stayed in the $3 per night California state park "hiker biker" sites. A few nights in motels, like in San Francisco.

Had a great time in San Fran. Yes that costs a lot more.

I have spent most of this year's savings (not counting my pension at the job) on my travels, rather than adding it to my tiny mutual fund.

I guess my choice is to enjoy this wonderful vacation, or stay home and save the money.

If I save the money, it might be good for another week, or two in a nursing home at the end of this life.

Seems like the little money, I could save, would just be a "drop in the bucket" to my "pragmatic" needs in the future, at the end of this life.

It's much more appealing to use the money to enjoy life now.

I may get as far as Santa Barbara before taking train back.
