Journal Entry:
Slept in as late as possible - pretty challenging between the sun light and the traffic noise. Wolf went in to work early so hung out with Tomoko. Tried to find a car to rent. I wanted to go one way to Red Bluff where I could pick up my car. Enterprise wanted $1/mi. drop off fee for one way rentals (Red Bluff is ~200 miles away!). Ended up renting from Avis, and arranged to pick up the car at 1:30. Got a ride to rental place only to find them closed for lunch - guess the national office where I made the reservation doesn't keep track of such details. Waited until the were open again (two), then waited another hour for the car to get there. Finally got going at around three.

Luckily the drive was shorter than I feared, and once I got beyond Oakland there were no traffic issues whatsoever. It was great to see Amy, and also to see my car again. Dropped off the rental car in nearby Redding, then had a great rib diner. Spent the night looking at photos and talking.
