From Cathedral City, we needed to head slightly south to visit a friend of Yanmei's who lives in Escondido, CA (between LA and San Diego).

When we left it was about noon and we needed to decide where to stay for the night. Eventually we decided to just drive all the way home, even though it would be a long day. We managed to skirt around the worst LA traffic and get through there by 2:30pm, and finally got home at 10pm. It was great to sleep in our own bed after 15 days on the road!
