Hampton Ste Roseville

... see the taping.
We were also advised that "locals" attend the show every week and queue up from 14:00 each Friday to guarantee a seat. Again, needless to say I was not impressed and left the carpark in a hurry leaving a couple of black marks as I exited.
To think I got up at 03:30 in the morning to get the tickets and not be told they were standby. Only if the VIP's don't show up then we get in.......:-(.
Anyway we found out the taping was anywhere ...

A lovely day -- with an easy drive out to Sacramento, a good day visiting Sac State (which is a very pretty campus, especially this time of year, with the leaves changing), then an easy drive home. Definitely a long day, and I was exhausted by the end of it, but not a bad one at all.

We were sad the group had disbanded this morning, but at least it ended in without hurt feelings,. We have no clue what comes next, but we need to clear our heads first. we spend the night at a nice little motel. and finally give Betsy a well earned wash, the ...

... given to me I didn't find it. Jess was actually better at it than me, but that will change, I'm going to become a pro. Thanks Steve....

We were kind of spoiled for our last days on the road, we weren't to used to the luxury of "mom's" cooking, and never ending supply of beer. It helped our motivation to start heading home, a little taste of normalcy.

Nic and Jess

A College friend of ours who had graduated the previous year had signed up from Americorps and she was stationed out this way ...

... game and part of the second before chilling winds and spurting snow drove me to head for Sacramento and the comfort of home. Charlie seriously sniffed everything in the yard - firstly the big tree by the road where the most "notes" would have been left. It was when he saw Casey and Annie and later Sandy and Emily that he became a crazed dog jumping, barking, running in circles - so happy ...

We are home! Finally! Our five week travel is at an end after about 18 hours of travel. We flew from Lima to San Salvador yesterday, then San Salvador to San Francisco. We arrived just after midnight this morning (Oct 1). Last night we stayed at Amy's Aunt & Uncle's house in Concord, and we got back to Sac around lunch time today. We are tired for sure, but super glad to be home.

This is the last post we will make, so there were a ...

... moment - he achieved something for the first time in ages....made up new shoelaces (they were "cut-to-size" and then burn on the plastic end thingy) and sorted out my walking boots (one of the old laces had "gone"). A quick dip in the pool and then back to cower in the air-conditioned hotel rooom. Evening meal was a lasagne cooked in the microwave after a stroll to the local supermarket (turned out to be like an Aldi) in wrap around heat.
