Living in the north east, where keeping warm in the winter is essential,
and where the amount of warm sunny days are limited to a few months , it seemed impractical
to own a convertible even though my dream car has
always been a SAAB convertible (not sure
if they even make that car any more ). So when I was in Northern California during my
writing hiatus (Day 62-77), I took a “joy ride” as Little Golden Books
suggested, and cruised the Pacific Coast Highway (Highway 1A) in a Red Camaro.

Reflection
Usually on vacation, I rent the cheapest compact car that I can get
because I am very practical by nature. Therefore, this was a new challenge and it was also new for me to careen a windy highway
in light of my fear that my motion sickness tendencies would result in an embarrassing situation.
This was a truly peaceful escape and the
view from this car was fantastic. I can see why some
enjoy motorcycles so much! I say go for the up grade and take a joy ride!
This ride was the antisense of my cousin’s van ride in Day 8, when I hoped that no one would recognize me. In the Camaro, I was waving to the world wearing a “Cheshire cat grin." With the sun shining, the radio playing, the coast
to my right, and my hair blowing, I felt like I was flying down the coast.

Time with the Lord is the perfect restful escape.
