DAY 29 — Sunday, Oct 21, 2012
Can't convey how elated I was for these three events: my sweetie surprised me at the hospital at 6:30 this morning; the hospital discharged me late morning, and I backtracked and completed the Cuesta Grade (11 miles; 1200 ft ascent, but 1900 descent). It tired me more than usual but the pure joy of finishing it overcame the tiredness.
Check out the picture on the Cuesta grade--so much picturesque scenery.
The mission was beautiful with a unique aspect being an add-on, if you can imagine, an entire wing nearly as large as the original church. Baptisms and other goings on in the square in front of the mission created buzz.
