Becca & Larry Tripping West

Thursday August 9th

We left Paula's around noon, that seems to be our time to leave and started our drive to San Francisco. This drive was long and we drove through all farmland. We saw many tree farms, and I’m guessing they were orange trees but there was no fruit on them. The coolest part of our trip was that the whole was we passed trucks that were hulling large open bins, inside the bin were tomatoes, thousands of them. Each truck pulled two large open bins. The funny thing was that as we were driving you could see smashed tomatoes on the side of the highway. I saw a squirrel run in the highway, grab a tomato and run back in the field.







The other crazy thing we saw on this leg of the drip was a cow farm. Now I have seen cows on the side of the road before but I am not joking that this farm had 20,000 cows. We drove 2 or 3 miles on the highway and it was just cows, and they were not just here and there, they were packed in and everywhere. It SMELLED so bad. I have never seen so many in one location. I even took a movie of it back it was so crazy. We don't know if they were meat cows or dairy cows.

We got into San Fran around 7:30. We drove to Elizabeth's apt on Sutter and Polk. She lives in Union Station. Right next to china town. Bryan, Liz, Larry and I went to North Beach and had sushi, then went back to Liz's to hang out.
