Day 22 on The Road to 50 States dawned in Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco, and immediately Albert and Adama realized they had a charging issue in the Tesla. Somebody left the heat on. Lucky for them, there was a charger nearby, because the team was off on a tour of Fog City and their first interview of the day with Mike Fero, Founder of TeselaGen. They had to charge across the bay to Emeryville for their next visit, which was Grifols Diagnostic, and had fun, as ever, chatting with Ramon Biosca. Returning to the city and the beautiful Fairmont Hotel, they met Ruth Abdulmassih, CEO of ABS (Alternative Biomedical Solutions). After enjoying everything that the City by the Bay had to offer, the team took its brotherly love to Santa Cruz, where they got their toes – or shoes – in the sand again. It was a beautiful sunset over the Pacific as the completed they day rolling into the City of Angels.
