Day 25 - Friday, July 20, 2012 - El fin.

No alarm was necessary today, as our internal alarm clocks had us up by 6:30am. We took full advantage (or slightly abused) the continental breakfast before hitting the road.

We only had a half mile ride to the Coronado ferry. This ten minute trip took us across San Diego Bay, avoiding the bay bridge. We had a great view of the San Diego cityscape, and of particular interest were Naval vessels and a large ship being built.

Once we disembarked the vessel, we took off on a bike path that led us through all of Coronado and into Imperial Beach. We navigated through this city and it's outlying horse ranches to Border State Beach park. Unsuspectingly, this was the end of our trip. We saw a large tall fence, border patrol in hilltops and helicopters, but no point of entry. Thankfully this venture was about the journey, not the destination.

After our anticlimactic finish, we grabbed some food and hit the beach. On the ferry back to downtown San Diego, we were engaged in conversation with two cyclists and one if them ended up being from Cleveland Heights. He grew up on East Scarborough and was a Roxboro and Heights High grad....such a small world.

The rest of the day was spent retrieving boxes and packaging materials, and of course washing clothes. We broke off for dinner and it should be mentioned that Mike and Melissa found a tasty vegan joint (Evolution Fastfood) and indulged in PinkBerry frozen yogurt afterwards (side note: totally worth the hype, so tasty). Z and DJ decided to give In-N-Out a whirl. They both agree that there is no way it could have lived up to its outlandish reputation, but it was still a good burger.
