Golden Bridge
Alcatraz prison
Is not easy to be a tourist.We started looking for hotel and we met a Brazilian girl at the reception which convinced us to stay giving us a special price. Also we met two Brazilian couples from Florianopolis on Holiday, very friendly and invited us to come to their house in Brazil, free hotel. Haahhahahah.
We spent 3 days at the weekend, beautiful city. We were very tired and decided to stay at the hotel that Friday. The next day we started walking around very early, but just few minutes late me and Elenice was already half way dead. Is not easy to walk in a City with so many hills. On Sunday we decide to take the bike and ride around the city, it was much more comfortable.
We left San Francisco on Monday and leave toward Los Angeles for a road with beautiful scenery to take our breath away ,however dangerous and filled of closed curves we could not ride more than 30 or 40 miles. We had the intention to stay overnight in camping area by the beach, however we did not find any nice beaches. In our mind California was more or less a paradise but we were wrong.
We decided to change once again our rote and we headed California-Arizona through beautiful and lonely mountains and farms which seems made of gold because of the dry grass. We drove through oil field, we also crossed gorgeous mountains and finally we saw astonishing green valley that when we got close we saw that whole valley was irrigated farms in the middle of the desert. It was like a dream seeing some green area after hours and hours of driving. In an infernal heat I decided to open my jacket and tried to get behind the windscreen and get some cold wind I stand up and I had quickly to sit back because the wind was too hot. It was an infernal heat of 45 degrees.
We quickly started looking for a place to spend the night having a great air conditioning until the following day to prepare to cross the hottest of all that USA and known as Death Valley (Valley of Death) being the lowest point and hot throughout USA. We stayed and rest at Bakersfield. It was a beautiful city which looks very rich, all houses were mansions however the city was divided by poor and rich, we could see exactly where poor lived. Once Again we left not early as we planned because we are always lazy.
The next day we left the old route 66 in California that connects Los Angeles to Chicago across the entire country, now there are only small parts of it because of the new highway, quicker and safer.
