In about ten minutes (and only two hours later than I wanted…) Jan & I climb into the rental and begin our drive north along the California & then Oregon coast.
Just J & me, moving sufficiently fast we will not be stopping to visit friends. A small sadness, that. But, the chance to just be with Jan, frankly, makes it all okay.
Not a convertable, but there is one of those moon windows above, so we can pretend…
Somehow the Beach Boys seemed right here rather than the original gang, as this trip is itself an echo, a memory of things past…
