Reflecting

It was a month ago today we had left for ca.We were gone 24 days. Was a bit too long but we werre in Ca for10 days. Hopefully next time it wont be as marathon like. We saw a lot travelled almost 8 thousand miles all together, Time on the road about 8 hours a day and we had a timer to set as we would stop every hour and walk around. Stopped at the continental divide that was great. Saw all different kinds of plants and terrains. Spectacular mountains. Nothing in NYS can compare to that!

Learned a Lot

Well we learned a lot about travelling, about the country, about people, and about food. I think one of the most depressing sights was that of migrant farm workers. School buses full of them with port o sans on the back of them on flatbed trucks. Their liing conditions were not that great. There were large groups of singlewides PACKED with campers too not more than 6 feet apart where these people lived. The kind of camper that you put on the back of a truck.

There is so much open space. This country is huge.

We had quite the adventure in eating.  The BEST was the Stinking Rose as we are garlic aficionados.

I still feel like I am driving so hopefully this can be turned around relatively soon. Then we have to get ready for our trip in the fall.

So much

So much driving so many miles. Wyoming was the worst for some reason.It feels like a marathon. I give my husband credit though as he is doing ALL of the driing. I do not pass semis and driving fast is just not what I do. We made it to Chicago in 4 days. People are crazy driers in Chicago. YES there were back ups but the weirdest thing is that when you cross into the city there is a sign that tells you how many parking spaces are left.
 We had a lovely dinner with Pauls cousin Cecelia and we walked around in the lovely serene neighborhood and saw the wonderful creations of Frank Lloyd Wright, Absolutely great. Today the museum of Science and Industry and then off to Michigan to  visit Aunt Bernie.

Trip Back Day 1

Well day1 went well. There was some snow as we passed over the Sierra Nevadas but no chains required. We drove to Elko Nevada. We had stayed here on the way out. Its a gambling town for ranchers. They have a mud scraper outside the hotel as they come in full of mud.. They go gambling it seems at the local establishments. Now 602 am NY tiime and I am awake.300am pacific time as well. If I were home it wouldnt be a problem. I hope we can make good time on the way back. As we know now what we can expect.. Today day 2.  Probably go into Wyoming today.Yesterday we saw a spectacular rainbow I took pics wish I had remembered the better lens but hopefully it will be good.It has been an interesting journey with food across the nation. California is the best for all kindds of food. I did enjoy the Thai the most.

Hard to beleive our time in California is coming to an end. A lovely party hosted by Elizabeths mother in law to be Martha with her family. Elizabeth is truly blessed. Tomorrow we leave after breakfast with Francisco and Elizabeth. Hope it does not snow in the Sierra Nevadas...

Friday 5-27

Well I had hoped to do more and see more. I realize that I seemto overplan. To visit and sight see is adifficult thing. We hae had a wonderful time here to effectively visit we need to be here for more time. But we have to leave on Sunday. I hope it does not snow in the Sierra Nevadas again. But it is what it is. I am looking forward to seeing the dogs and cats. So much rain back east they have not been able to mow. I am looking forward to visiting back east and getting down to NYC hopefully in the not too distant future. After this drive it should be a piece of cake. Fist though we have to do this drive. I had hoped to do more visiting and site seeing but it doesnt look like we can get as much as we hoped for done.Today we are going to look  at Bridal gowns with Elizabeth. Ill take pictures

We saw the sun set over the pacific

So much to see

It has been a veritable sensory explosion. Between seeing all new things and the food and the air and weather it has taken time to process it all. I was wondering why I felt so sad yesterday and I realize it is a one year anniversary of my mothers passing. The upside of it is we went to the beach yesterday and knowing how much my mother loved the sea I really felt better after going to the beach. It was a wonderful time exploring the shoreline and wading. Did not go in as there were detailed instructions as to how to escape the rip tide. The water was colder than anything on the Atlantic. The reason why is that it is fed by the melting ice. San Mateo is a lovely area. But it has been colder than usual as per Francisco.Electronics are amazing as we are doing work while we are on the road. James and Rose and Erik are safely back in NY.

Then we went to the DeYoung Museum it was fantastic with a panoramic tower iew then all the art!! We each picked a painting out and said what we liked about it. It was Pauls Idea and it was so much fun.Ill post some of the art. Then we went to a Japanese Garden and then ate at the Stinking Rose (Garlic) I think we surprised the waiter at how much Garlic we actually ate.!!!
