day 6

Today was another wet and hard day. We left our campsite late and couldn't find a place to eat lunch. Finally around 3:30 we found the town of Long Beach and stopped at a coffee shop. They had free wireless so we blogged and had coffee but still no food. Heidi met an artist, Don Nisbitt, whose paintings were up in the cafe. He offered to take us out to dinner with his wife, Jenna. We gladly accepted his kind offer!
They took us to the 42nd St. Diner and it was delicious, and the company was great. While we were eating we met a friend of theirs, Craig, who offered to let us stay at his tree house on one of his properties. Once again we were excited to accept.
