August 22-24, my second trip to San Luis Obispo. I stayed at the hostel near the train station. It's much smaller and more intimate than the hostels at major cities, and the staff and volunteers made an effort to make us feel at home. They cooked for the guests and invited me to join. What ruined the night was that the hosts were all white men and said many things that came off racist and sexist to me no matter how they tried to pose themselves as enlightened and open minded. I wanted to ride gravel on August 23, since last I visited was before I bought my gravel bike. It turned out that I got into mountain bike terrain and hiked most of the way, but it was fun. As a result, I came back late and had dinner outside by myself. Here I just set off for the trip, riding on Foothill Blvd, on my way to Morro Bay State Park. #sanluisobispo #farmlands #landscape #photography #darktable
