It's been about two days since we've updated due to visiting family and lack of terribly interesting things happening. But now with two days behind us we have a lot to tell. At the start of day we headed out the hotel early to see the sights of San Diego. No one informed us of the gloomy weather during the month of June but we still enjoyed seeing our final destination and dipped our feet in the pacific. After some driving around we decided to head to Palm Springs which where we will be staying for the night. The drive there was called pines to palms highway, and dropped several thousand feet in a few miles. The result was a state highway made from switchbacks. we arrived at my cousins house where there was a very refreshing pool.
The next day we depart and headed north to Joshua Tree National Park, which is famous for their tower mountains of boulders. We hiked and climbed there for about an hour and headed further north into the Mojave Desert. There we hit 150,000 miles on my car right in front of a dry salt lake. The heat there was intense, even being dry, the heat made it hard to breathe. Through the Mojave Desert we happened upon Route 66 again and saw the famous shoe tree. We passed the Kelso Sand Dunes also, 700 foot tall mountains of sand the cover the horizon.
Afer about 200 mile of deserted roads, we made it to I 15 and eventually to Vegas. My cousin showed us around the Sin City and we had a great time.
More to come.

Hi Louie (and friends),
ReplyDeleteJust a(free)hug from the other side of the world!
What an adventure!
..and, just in case, if you're feeling a strange sense of belonging wherever you go one possible explanation could be that the portuguese blood is in every corner of the Earth!!!(and, as you know, half of your veins are full of it!)
So be the 21th century Vasco da Gama and don't ever forget David Coverdale's(an english) motto:
"Be Safe, Be Happy And Dont't Let Anyboby Make You Afraid!!!!"
Louie Rocks !!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers
