...catches the worm

Well, this is a photo we took, just to document events on our time together in April and it actually turned out rather nice and marti suggested I submit it.

The story behind it:

This was the morning after I arrived, so I was extremely jetlagged and we were both wide awake at around 7am (when I wake, Marti mysteriously wakes all by herself...). We decided on the spur of the moment that we'd go and watch the sunrise, so we crawled out of bed and threw on a few clothes (I almost didn't bother changing from my pyjamas, but I'm so glad I did now).

Marti forgot where the sun rose, so we ended up going in a few circles, then we decided to watch it from a fishing pier, only we missed the exit and ended up going over a toll bridge, only, we didn't have any money, because we didn't plan on needing it. We were issued a penalty notice for not being able to pay the toll, but told we could pay on the way back if we liked. Fortunately Marti had her bank card on her, so we went in search of an ATM so that we could pay the toll (and the one on the way back to get back to the pier we were heading towards in the first place). By this time the sun was already rising over the Bay, so we were desparately trying to find an ATM so we can get on with watching the sunrise.

We come to a fork in the road, and with the sun blinding us, basically, we go the wrong way. We drive for about 10 miles before finding an Albertson's, getting some croissants with cashback and heading back to pay the tolls and watch the sunrise from the pier. We got there in the end, after $7, about one hour's driving and 30 miles. Still, I think you'll agree it was worth it
