Andrew and Carla invited us to their wonderful beach house in Rohoboth Beach in Delaware on the Atlantic coast. Rohoboth Beach is a lovely seaside town and I was surprised how crowded it was after the deserted beaches in Oregon that I am familiar with.
This marks the end of my coast to coast journey as I stood in the Atlantic Ocean and got my feet wet exactly five weeks ago on Friday 19th July at Pacific City, Oregon.
Andrew & Carla, "I think I've found your wallet"
Two lost limeys!! Exactly the same except for five years

The Atlantic Ocean, proof I did it!!
England is that a way!!
Michelle stopping me drifting further eastwards!!
Technically me and my Almera reached the east coast at Newark when I picked up Michelle on the 18th Aug, but I needed to touch the ocean even though I do not like sand!!
Reflecting on my journey, its been quite an achievement and an adventure. I have seen some amazing sights, avoided some dangerous weather and camped in the wilderness.
I never planned it to be a reverse following of Lewis and Clark, but that has been a constant theme throughout my journey as well as paying homage to the origins of the music I love the most (jazz, blues and country).
My time in Oregon made me realise that my divorce has not ended a connection with an area of America which is a second home to me and I am grateful that bridges have been mended and I can move on and place that part of my life in context.
Now I can just enjoy my time with Michelle and finally have a rest!!!
