Hey all,
We left San Francisco this morning, after a two-hour wait at the car rental place. Tim ended up upgrading our rental, because apparently the car we were going to get was really small. Now we have a brand new (we are the first people to rent it) Chrysler Sebring convertible. It’s super comfortable, and has lots of useful things such as an outside temperature gauge in fahrenheit, and some random letters that show up that we haven’t really worked out what they mean yet. We’re thinking it’s trying to tell us the direction of the wind outside, but it could also be the direction that we are traveling or anything really. Hopefully it’s nothing mechanical.
Anyway, we arrived in Eureka (where we are staying tonight) at around 5:30pm. We had an expensive meal at Pizza Hut, where I embarrassed myself by exclaiming over the size of the drinks we were brought (they were huge), and now we’re in our hotel room. Tim is watching TV and I’ve just finished uploading photos and hopefully I’ll finish this email sometime in the next half hour so Tim can check the NRL scores (omg cass you closed the browser with the NRL scores omg!)
The hotel room isn’t extravagant, but it is heaven compared to the hostel. My favourite part is having our own bathroom with an actual bath 
The perfect accompaniment to the cold weather here.
Tomorrow Tim and I are going to visit American Target (where I hope to get some warmer clothes), and hopefully a drugstore so that I can get something for this persistent cold, because I’m sick of losing my voice every half an hour, and sounding like an adolescent boy when I am able to speak.
Missing you all,
Cass xoxo
