Unlike yesterday, Thursday was all highway driving – CA 99 and I-5, Bakersfield to Redding – about 7½ hours on the road.
In Redding we stayed at the Sheraton at Sundial Bridge. Sheraton is part of the Marriott Hotels now and once again we stayed free using my Marriott points.
We walked around Turtle Bay on the Sacramento River, a beautiful place right next to the hotel. The Sundial Bridge is beautiful. It actually acts as a sundial with its shadow. It was designed by Spanish architect and engineer Santiago Calatrava. Pedestrians and bikes only. We walked through the gardens where not much was blooming at this time of year. We came back again at night after dinner to see it lighted up.
Dinner was at Janya Thai where we ate last time we were in Redding four or so years ago. Great meal!
Tomorrow morning – on to Depoe Bay.

Very neat area. There are beautiful parts all around us in the U.S. Been on the I-5, not fun at all. Joe, tell Elaine I beat Caroline at quiddler today. Bill and I spent day at Springs while they are watching Ani and Lena.
