Things soon changed as we woke up to our first morning under the Arizona sun. They say Yuma gets 360 days of sunshine a year!
I spent some time trying to convert my dad from Louis L'Amour to John Steinbeck. As for me I tried to start way too many books and will probably never finish them now.
For a night out we went to Bubba's for some authentic southern BBQ. We shared the Carolina pulled pork and St. Louis ribs.
We spent a day in Mexico walking across the border at Algodones. We could just stroll across the Mexican border . . .
Chantal driving a hard bargain south of the border in Mexico.
. . . of course getting back across into the U.S. took a little longer.
I got to spend quite a bit of time wandering under the desert sun. This is the side of gully in a flood wash.
I surprised at how many little caves there are spread around. More places to hide your gold I guess.
This was our view from our motel in Hollywood. It was not quite what I expected.
I guess most of the action happens behind gated walls.
It was really cool that when we were ordering some ice cream on Santa Monica pier we heard Long Way Home that features our very own Roberta Harrison!
Chantal is play tag with the waves . . . I think the waves are winning.
Mom and dad strolling along Venice Beach. I think this was the highlight of the trip for me. It was the best weather, the scenery was beautiful the culture was interesting.
It was a wonderful break from the ordinary . . . and also good to come home.
