Sep 3 , Manteca , CA.

Sep 3 , Manteca , CA. Morning wake up early. I slep enough time. Energy came back into my body. I felt fresh. Chris got up at same time. After shower, I cleaned up stuff, ready to leave, before I request ,Christ said he will take me to the 95. 7 o'clock , He wrote his address to me. We were already on road. It was good time, the sun was shinning , the sky was very clear. The tempture was comfortable . Christ drove me on the road. I thought he would dropped me in the 95 entrance , but I just didn't want to ask how far do you want to drive me? I know God's grace is big, I should receive it without asking any questions . After a hour, we arrived in Indian Springs. This was the place I and Chris farewell . A nice couple picked me up. Bob and dabbi , Bob's mother passed away several weeks ago. They were going to tack care of his mother's house in Beaty. DAbbi has very beautiful red hair. I got out in Beaty , there is a coffee store in the street conner. I thought to use wifi to check email and check map. I may know the road I roll take . I bought a cup of yogurt In order to get the passcode. Jeff's email surprised me , he was in flagstaff when I was there. He could host me if I know that. I was too tired after a night in truck. I really thought to stay a night in flagstaff . But I didnt. after Jerry gave me a drive through tour. The time was still early, so I decided to leave . So Jerry took me to the 40 west entrance. Something in my heart touched me. This is God's plan. Phil was going to San Diego, I even thought to follow him to Dan Diago, I told him, I have a friend in Dan Diago , so I have a place to stay. But I decided to go home quickly , so I got out in flagstaff. I just did not know Jeff was here in same time. But I missed him. After yougurt and wifi. I went on road . I stood in shade , waiing for ride. I thought about Jeff 's email. I could not cost him from my mind. I just wanted to cry. Why this happened? God did not want us to meet the third time? Jeff is a easy person, I feel comfortable with him. Certainly I like to see him again. But it happened in this way. I cried in my heart. I even thought several times I may go to see Jeff and spend several days with him. Quit a long wait, I tried to walk forward , and back. Because indeed the shade, I could not take the tree with me. A car stopped.Dell and Alberta are Couple. When I asked they Asian or Latino, Alberta laughed , they Navaho, native American. I was so happy that they are my first Navaho drives. April 3oth, the first day of my trip, I got a ride from a showaki . He gave me wonderful tour in his village . They were going to concord California. So I got a long ride. They would pass yosemite or Reno. They' I thought Christopher a lot , because we drive toward to Reno , their daughter study in college in Reno . They told me they might go to Reno to take their daughter. Along the road they phone their daughter, except she will come or not, they report the news: "we picked up a hitchhiker , 30 years old something. "4 months Across while country.." Even I am happy to hear 30 something, I was honest to tell her I am 45. Aberta is same as my age. She looks young and strong. Her husband Dell is a quite person. He did not speak more than 20 -30 sentences in half day. Their daughter will not come with them. So we take the road to yosemite instead of the one to Reno. I thought I may get out in Yosemite if Yosemite is a city or big town. They have never been Yosemite either. When we get the store , I asked the girl who works there. She said , only a store. No town. Basically natural. Dell decided we will drive through Yosemite. That made me happy. Years ago Youcan told me about Yosemite. Perfect Chinese translation , both prenaciation and meaning are match well. Yosemite is our landlord lady Via's favorite place. She did several paintings about Yosemite. Yosemite inspired her art talent. I like the rocks and trees and lakes. I did not see the water falls in Via 's painting. When were getting closer the gate , I took out $10, I said I would like share some the entry fee. We did not know how much. I just decided to share $10. It was long day, getting evening time, Aberta asked me where they drooped me off . I answered " I hoped they can keep me for tonight. If they can't , they may drop me in downtown. She said they don't know where is downtown. She sugested me to go to san francisco friend's home. So they may drop me at bus station. I think Concord to San Francisco is stil far . I did not know Aran is at home , she often goes to Albion for weekend. And I could not find her cellphone . . I borrowed Aberta 's cell phone to call Sean . Aberta was happy she thought someone will come to pick me. I said "no, he is far away." While I talked with Sean I told him I will go to Concord. Aberta said " Manteca, Manteca . " I didnot know where is Manteca , after I finishined phone. Aberta told they dropped me just this town, 5 miles away . I know I have already became their burden, it is right I should I get out car. If manteca is a bigger town , there are light at night, that 's ok they dropped me here . I checked map in macdald , and then walk to downtown. I chose a very bright place to sleep , it is a bench, under the light . I lay on the bench . A black young man came, " what happened?" we talked a little while . He picked something under the bench, snd handled it to me. It was a comb. He left. After a while , I found this was not right place. It is cold. This 6 direction open. So I got up, took the bag, to look for other places. I I stayed a store conor. Here is much better. It can keep wind out. Plenty light too. I ate the dried chicken I bought lunch. Left over food. And some snaks . Sleep. I have a new bed room in Manteca CA.
