Sunday, 7/26 - 21 miles. Semi-rest day. Ended up stopping very early and staying at a motel. Campgrounds and motels are limited in this area so rather than do a long day today we decided to stop early. The terrain still has rolling hills but the hills are getter lower as we get closer to San Francisco. We found that if you are going downhill at a decent speed it propels you a substantial distance up the next hill. We are still cycling through very small towns on the coast but as we get closer to San Francisco the farms seem to be larger and more prosperous looking. You don't see the old rusted equipment and dilapidated structures that were common sites on many farms further north. Our motel has a balcony overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The photos below show the motel and the view from the balcony.
