When the first time I heard the song "going home" (by a Taiwanese singer Wang Jie) many years ago, my feeling for the lyrics was not that strong. Today, I listened to this song from my ipod, and I suddenly realized my feeling of missing home town. Especially now I am in the foreign country. However, I have to keep moving on.

Straight road and trees, the only scenery I seen all the way...

Finally, I found one convenience store after two hours ride. I was so thrilled and it must show on my face. When I entered in, the store owners said there was one guy who was heading to San Diego by in-line skate came in with this kind of "happy look" as same as me.

I remembered I saw the similar boards in mountain area in Taiwan. "Pure honey"

Chili pepper? We have that in Taiwan too...

I saw a warehouse, maybe it is disused. It's 4p.m, time for camp. I check the environment and decided to stay it here.

I am wondering if I should choose to go the west (land) or to the southwest (coast). There must be different scenery.

After I read the book about the West coast of America, I had a strong feeling that there must be a lot to see in the West coast than the East. Just give myself a stimulation for going forward。

The temputure will go up tomorrow。
