Sadly this is myself and Taylor's last day together. We are up bright and early and ready to go at 7:30 A.M down to Watsonville. She rented a Zip car and we are head down south for about 2 hours until we are at our destination. 2 hours later... we arrived! Elkhorn Slough is a estuarine reserve so we had to go to their visitor center and pay $4.00 to be able to go on a hike and just wander were we wanted to. We were going to go on a tour at 10 A.M but we were super early so we decided to wander off and go to Moss Landing Harbor about 10 minutes away from Elkhorn Slough. We arrived and we got to see 2 Sea Otters! It definitely made my day that much better, and we also saw a lot of California Sea Lions. After 10 or so minutes we decide to head back to make our tour on time. Casually as we're leaving, we get in the car and BOOM! Taylor backs up and hits a truck parked behind her. Instantly we both panic because it was a complete accident and never saw it coming, she immediately goes and finds the owner and exchanges information since it isn't Taylor's car and the Zip car company will be doing all that for her. Already the day is off to a some what bad start, after that we head back to Elkhorn Slough and are late to the tour. We decided to go off on our own hike when a ranger approached us and asked us if we wanted a tour, of course we accepted it. I have to say that the tour was so peaceful and everything was beautiful, with senior project in the process and going to college soon, it was nice to relax and escape from the world for a while. Unfortunately Taylor wasn't having such a good day so we decided after our hike to just head home. We just got on the free way and we're a good solid 20 minutes in when Taylor realizes that we're on the 101 South when we should be on the 101 North! That day couldn't get any worse, we had to exit and find our way back to the correct free way entrance. Despite all the issues we faced that day we still kept our heads held high and made the best of it. 2 hours later we are almost close to home, the closer we got to my house the more I thought about how this was the last time I will be seeing Taylor. It was a bitter sweet feeling saying goodbye to her. Sweet because I am done with one aspect of this project, but bitter because I learned a lot from her and had a blast while going on these adventures with her. She will truly always have a special place in my heart. I Cannot wait to finish high school and finish this project to get to college and start my life already, I'm almost there, I can taste it.
