Day 11: San Gabriel to Burbank. 14 miles

Day 11: San Gabriel to Burbank. 14 miles.

We said Hasta Luego to Dawn and Steve. Started walking from San Gabriel onward. We encountered the wild parrots of Alhambra and So. Pasadena. Thinking the parrot was an escaped pet I alerted a woman walking. She replies "Oh Yes. We have hundreds and hundreds." We were soon to see she was right. They are a loud bunch of birds.

We walked through the beautiful city of Pasadena. Encountered the wild parrots and different neighborhoods. Then we Ubered to So. Pasadena to stay with gracious hosts and reconnect with Jennifer Lupo-Northrup and her lovely family. Today's lesson from an Uber driver: "it all works out pretty well if you just follow the algorithm." Good advice.

Comments from Gerald:
What a difference the right shoes and a good pair of compression socks make! In other news, today I learned that South Pasadena suffers from an infestation of green parrots. Green parrots!! What new madness will tomorrow bring?!
