20 -23 Oct
Left from Beijing 20th Oct, more than 16 hours fly, almost same local time arrived in SFO. The immigrationor gave me 6 months for staying in USA. that is cool. I stayed at my friend's apartment nearby SFO, Burlingame 3 days. visited SFO and bought a second hand bike there, 150 dollars, good deal, and bought a front rack and two panniers and a kilometer conputer, cost me about 100 dollars. that is so good!
24 Oct
First day bike. crossed Golden gate brige headed to North, I want to see my friends in Boise, Idaho who I met at the China- Laos border 2 years ago. but I know it is getting cold, maybe snow, but I am not afraid of that, I mean cold weather, because at the beginning of this year, I was in Swtizerland somedays camped at minus degree. Anyway I am pretty lucky, on the brige I met a guy who brought me back to his apartment, and more amazing is his mother born in Wuhan, China in 1924! Once she can speak good maderin, but now almost forgot. I had a nice start!

From Bodega bay to Guerneville. Met a Swiss nut(female Lama) on my way, she is from Luzern, Switzerland, and I got to there. funny. My rear tire was flat 2 times today. so I just drive 41kms. almost evening I got in Guerneville. a small town, the homeless told me there is a park could camp. I have no choice. because almost dark and my tire flat. in the evening a lot of young people came here. they are teeneger? they can't drink beer or smoke. so they came to here have fun but met me. we have a wonderful night. but I cant see thier face clearly. at midnight I am a little bit afriade of there. because some homeless maybe maybe some bad guys battled on the street, of course they are drunk.~~

I am luck, nothing happened last night, I am still alive, haha. my the most terrible is my rear tire flat again and again!~~ I know my stuff are too heavy and the rear inner tube flat too many times. I met guys just out of Guerneville, they are so friendly, they let me repair my bike there, and one guy came help me, no, he totally repaired my rear tube. I did nothing~~ but anyway the rear tire is totally broken I cant drive with it. and a guy give a call to somebody, and he said to me the new tube is on the way! I cant believe that, because there is a small town, I dont know where the tube come from. Later a lady came and gave me 2 new tube for free!! and most amazing is that guy help me find a job in Headlsburg, at a winary! thanks so much!
