The sun never shines in Newfoundland

I had no interest in becoming an honorary Newfoundlander, but I did try the Screech. I can see why Newfoundlanders like it, the burn of the cheap rum washes away the lingering aftertaste of cod tongue.

Wow, has it really been a week since we last posted?  Time really does fly.

We’ve been in Hesperia, CA for a couple days now.  No internet access at the house so I brought my laptop to McDonalds.

Let’s see – we left you all hanging at Las Vegas, NM.  The hot tub was great.  Chatted with a nice couple who were on their way from Arizona to Denver, so we swapped road condition updates.  :)

The drive from Las Vegas, NM took us through Albuquerque, where we visited the Turquoise Museum and bought some souvenirs.  Got ourselves across the state line into Holbrook, AZ for the night.

A drive through more snow (in Arizona???) brought us to the Hoover Dam.  We did the basic tour into the dam and took lots of pictures of rocks and water.  Cathi dared Cathy to pinch a guy’s butt cheek…shhh, cant tell you what came next.

The drive from Hoover Dam to Las Vegas, NV went smooth.  We took up residence for Friday and Saturday, spending time walking the Strip, and hanging out with my high school friend Louye.  After all these years, the conversation was still easy.  :)

The hills of Death Valley called to us next.  Spent hours in the park so we spent the night in Barstow and finished our drive to my cousin’s on Monday.

Uh-oh… my time on the Mc-e-D network is running out.  Will have to share LA stories later.

Thanks again to everyone’s well wishes!
