This is the last week of my trip. The next stop is San Diego. It's a city on the Pacific coast of California known for its beaches, parks and warm climate. I went to San Diego Museum Of Art, where which is a fine arts museum. The museum has a variety of collections, I am psyched to introduce all of the collections. If you are interested in arts, you must spend time there. 



Next, I rode to San Diego Zoo, where is a famous zoo in America. There are many animals in it. You can see the animal from tropical zone to frigid zone. I'm impressed by the giant panda, they are so lovely. San Diego Zoo is one of four zoos in the America which have giant pandas on display. and it is the most successful in terms of panda reproduction.






Finally, I rode to Imperial Beach,  the destination of my bike trip. It's beautiful and full of many tourists. You can swim, surf and try some activities here. I swam in the water, and it's really comfortable. Later. I wandered along the beachside, feeling the breeze on my face. How relaxing the trip was!





I spent one week finishing my bike trip. It's a wonderful experience and memories. This is my first time have a bike trip on my own. I learned how to use the map and how to fix the bike,etc. I achieved my goal and gained a sense of accomplishment in the trip.

Third week from Crescent City to Santa Barbara




How time flies! This is our third bike trip. We have been to many gorgeous places, and now we continue our trip.I rode for a long time from Crescent City to San Francisco, where Ive always really wanted to visit one day. Finally, I have the chance to visit, and it is by my bike. How amazing! I think I set a PR today because I achieved my goal, and I rode the most more miles than before. I am really on  cloud nine now.



The landmark of San Francisco is the Golden Gate Bridge because many tourists go to San Francisco for seeing to see the Golden Gate Bridge. It's awesome, I haven't seen the such a spectacular bridge before. The bridge is also popular with pedestrians and bicyclists. I rode their my bikes on the bridge, feeling the breeze on my face. It's a wonderful bike trip!


Later, I rode to Chinatown. Chinatown in San Francisco is big-scaled in that many Asian people live in there. I ate a variety of food and experienced Chinese shops and culture. San Francisco is a dynamic city, people here are friendly and hospitable. I think it's the most lovely loveliest city in America.



Tomorrow The next day, I rode to Fisherman's Wharf. It'a popular attractions people want to visit. I found many seafood restaurants there. I also had a wonderful lunch. It's dungeness crab, which is famous in Fisherman's Wharf. It's delicious and fresh, and it's pleasing to my palate. How a wonderful taste!







After visiting San Francisco, the next stop is Santa Barbara. I kept riding and enjoying the view. Suddenly, I rammed into a big rock and I got a flat tire. How poor I am Poor me! I was down in the dumps and needed to stop to fix it. After a some tough work, I finally fixed it and kept going on my bike trip. I rode to El Capitán State Beach, where is a perfect place for swimming, fishing, surfing, picnicking and camping. Its moderate water and beautiful scene are attractive to me.



I have been to many places this week, seeing many spectacular attraction scene and experiencing different culture. It's really a wonderful trip I have never had before.

My third week began from in Crescent City. I was excited because of the beautiful weather . First, I went to the San Francisco. There is That was my favorite place in my bike trip because it has a great sunset and city. I met great guys at the beach and we got drunk by midnight.









The next day, I departed in from San Francisco. I pumped the pedals fast as much as I could because a huge hurricane was coming to Santa Barbara, which is my next destination. Somehow, I arrived there before a huge hurricane came to there but I had a sore muscles due to my hard work. I drank too much beer, which is like the Popeye for me, to cure my sore muscles at night. I accidentally randomly met some people in the bar and we enjoyed drinking together.

The next day, I found the an article in the local paper which said that I had made a record for how much beer a person can drink per hour. I didn't remember that but I might have taken part in kind of tournament and fortunately I have a lot of money  now. However, I don't know why I have that. This week was too crazy for me.
