Day 14
27 miles toCostco left at 7am arrived at 11am
15 miles to persons (Mark) house left at 1pm arrived at 2pm

It was very hard to sleep. I probably only got maybe 2 hrs if sleep. The top of the mountain we were at got pretty cold at night, and the only way for me to stay warm was to curl up. However that prevented me from falling asleep since it was very uncomfortable. I had to switch from side to side every so often.
We tried waiting until it got light before we got out of the tent so that it would be a little warmer. But it felt like forever, since I would be constantly looking at my phone to see what time it was.
Finally got up at 7am but it was still very cold. My feet were completely numb as well as my hands. We ate a breakfast of oats and packed everything up. We said good bye to the other campers and they gave us water again with out us asking this time. we were very grateful.
The biking down the mountain was very cold at the beginning. Our hands got even colder. It was pretty tough until we got to the paved road. After that the downhill was fine. But it was pretty crazy since there was a lot if switch backs. We had to hold on our breaks pretty much the entire way down. We did however stop halfway and did some drone recording.
After getting down the hill it was pretty much flat until Costco.
The winds were pretty rough on the way there though. It was a side wind and almost blew me over a couple times. We ate lunch at Costco which was our typical peanut-butter and bread. While we were eating a man came up to us and started asking questions. We had multiple people do this but not for long. He then sat down and started talking some more. Long story short he ended up offering us a place to stay. The place was actually 15 miles out of the way. We weren't planning to go go that spot. But we decided to go to his home since he was very friendly and we had the extra day. Since we didn't spend it on the mountain.
It was kind of awkward when we first got to his home, and we felt a little uncomfortable, but it all worked out.
At his home we talked some more, ate some fruit from his trees. Bread fruit, fig, some coconut, and picked some avocados that were not ripe yet.
For dinner we ate our beans with some salad and bread fruit. And talked some more. We still felt pretty tired so got an early sleep.

HOW I FELL.
I also fell which was pretty funny. We were stopped at a light and when it was time to go I tried pushing of the sidewalk. But I missed the sidewalk and fell over.
