Best Value Inn-Lompoc

... zum bräunen und ausruhen. Als kleines Event erlebten wir eine Strandhochzeit direkt neben uns. Nadine war ganz hin und weg. Übernachten werden wir nun hier in Santa Maria.

Morgen geht es dann über den Pazific Coast Highway nach Monterey, über diverse Zwischenstops... Hoffentlich werden wir morgen mehr Fotos vom Highway machen, denn er ist wirklich super schön.

Viele Grüße
Maxi und Nadine

... do 12:30, kdy pro nás přijela Patricia z Argentiny s taxíkem, aby nás vzala přes půl LA do půjčovny karavanů. Než jsme vyrazili, posilnili jsme se ještě menším obědem v Burger Kingovi.

Cruise America už měla všechno připravený. Ne tak já – nemohla jsem najít pas, takže oficiální řidiči jsou Radek s Michalem, což mi ...

After
a terrible night of fearful driving, we made it to the hotel and were
lucky to be alive, so we went for a visit of the Hearst Castle. This is
a mansion/castle built by W.R.Hearst and it just amazing. It sits on
900 acres of land, on top of a hill with stunning vies of the ocean.
The tour is very informational and the castle is beautiful inside.
Driving on to Solvang, we passed through rolling hills of ...

... artist was really busy. He always is. His tattoos are really famous, and he don't **** around. They cost alot too. Laurel, the girl I came to Cali to see, got off work and came out. It's only been like 6 months since I had seen her, but when I huged her, it felt like forever. She gave me the grand tour of Santa Barbara, which meant she got lost on the way to her sister Liz's house. Liz has a husband, Nick, and a little boy, Sabastian. Cute kid. Liz and ...

... in the park by the toilets and he was very happy to let us. He even offered to let us park up near the fire pit and have some of his firewood! This is not a camp site, only a day parking area with some grassy areas and a few trees. It was very quiet and safe and the kids had plenty of places to go on their bikes. We were very lucky to be able to do this and we were very thankful to the park ranger. We were quite tired and ready to sleep.

... them at the gate yet, because after checking in they seem to have scattered to the wind. Perennial scofflaws, Russians on Aeroflot flights have been known to gather at the back of the plane, smoking, drinking and generally partying until the plane lands 12 hours later. I got a seat at the front. Russians often applaud when the plane lands safely, as if they really weren't sure that the plane would land at all. I can ...

... at they time we went, I know because I would have definitely done it!

The downside to this company I think was that they didn't offer photos, only video. I just wanted pictures, but have none unfortunately.

We almost didn't get to jump because of the weather. Luckily we were able to. I want to describe to you, but it's just insane.

We ...

... bottom. She laundered all the linens, rearranged the refrigerator, washed the windows, mopped the floors . . . she even folded my laundry that was in the dryer! (I might add that I had to call Brian to get instructions on how to work the washer and dryer . . . have you ever heard of a washer and dryer with a "play" button?!?!) I really wanted to take a nap that afternoon so I couldn't wait for her to leave. Six hours later she finally left! So I napped, watched tv and worked all ...

... been found either dead or alive. The next day was pancake day! In an attempt to keep tradition alive, we went to the IHOP (International House of Pancakes) right next to our hotel. I wasn't hungry so just had orange juice but Dan ordered one of their [not very] small breakfasts to start off the day. When offered either pancakes or french toast he chose the toast which I found rather absurd considering the reason we'd gone there in the first place. Oh well! After a few days more ...

I finished the painting from the day before and one of the ones from Wyoming, then worked some more on the San Luis Harbor painting but didn't finish it and it would be a couple of years and a return trip to this spot before I did. It was late afternoon by the time I left and went to Lompoc ...
