I'm about 2/3 into my trip to California. So far, I've learned that the Denver airport looks like a spikey tent, Lauren and I are allergic to Sacramento and Reno, chihuahuas can be very needy, San Francisco is very hilly and compact but beautiful, and that Fisherman's Wharf is the windiest tourist trap ever.
