Before I started this trip, someone suggested, "if you make it as far as San Luis Obispo, be sure to see the Madona Inn." 

I found it and wondered around in the lobby.  He said, "be sure and pay a visit to the men's room."  "The stone urinal is quite something." 

Everything done in stone, all over that unusual motel.  The urinal was something to see.  Flushing created a waterfall effect. 

From San Luis Obispo, I packed up my bike and took the train home.  Bike had to go in a box on the Amtrak Coast Starlight.
