Super 8 Motel - Bakersfield/Central

Fresno - Sequoia Nationalpark - Bak**sfield

Nachdem wir Sewys Shirt umgetauscht haben, machen wir uns auf den Weg in den Sequoia Nationalpark. Dort sehen wir das älteste Lebewesen auf d** Erde - den Gen**al Sh**man Tree, ein Sequoiabaum.

Bevor wir uns ab** auf den Weg zum nächsten Naturwund** machen, haben wir wied** mal eine Fastfoodkette ausprobi**t - Carls Jr ist aus uns**** Sicht nicht zu empfehlen...Das haben wir den ganzen Tag b**eut ...

Today we drove into Sacramento so that I could see the capitol. It was even prettier than I expected it to be--not as impressive as Denver's, but more old-world like Montgomery. On our way out of town we saw an old steam engine train crossing the main street. It looked as if it carried tourists--I managed to get a photo. We ...

How quickly things change without even leaving yet. Due to the heat, we decided to split the original first day's trip into two. First night we are staying at http://www.oasislasvegasrvresort.com Yes, I know it's roughing it (they only have 20 cable channels), but it beats driving ten hours on the first day.

We have been planning our "epic" trip across the West for some time ...

After driving all morning we arrived back home this afternoon. Got to talk to the neighbors about the local happenings. The lawn is looking sad, overgrown and brown, I'm sure our local watchdog is not very happy with us. Oh well I clean up next week. For now I’ve got to finish up the work I brought home and we leave for Santa Barbara tomorrow for a couple of days.

... in apps went faster. Soon they were on #74; I was getting a little nervous when the lady in front of me said to go ahead of her. I did and paid my fees, picked up my brother's and my passports and put them away. My number was called then, so I was able to turn in the visa apps and get out. After only 1 hour at the office and 15 min left on my meter I was on my way home. Smooth sailing for once! Now we leave in less than 6 hours. I have packed little. Guess I need to finish.

... Unfortunately, there is not much recreation or interesting things to see. Life seems to revolve around family, school sports and church functions. We did go to "Buck Owen's Crystal Palace" for dinner and a show. Bakersfield is home to the Owens family and all country and western fans know the song "Streets of Bakersfield" sung by him and Dwight Yokum. The Crystal Palace is a huge country bar and grill that houses a museum with all of Buck's photos and memorabilia. Buck ...

... 261; ilość cech wspólnych nam obu. Czułam się tak, jakbym znała Gelareh od lat, jakbym rozmawiała z dawno nie widzianą przyjaciółką. Była otwarta, ambitna, mądra i miała silnie rozwiniętą empatię, inteligencję emocjonalną. Starsza ode mnie o 4 lata, sporo w życiu przeszła. Po pięciu godzinach spędzonych w pociągu na ...

... Owens' country music restaurant - it doubles as a tribute to Buck Owens the country music singer who put Bakersfield on the map. The restaurant has lots of memorabilia and photos and the food is good too. I had brought Samuel & Joshua football kits from Colombia and when they wore them to soccer practice they both scored two goals.. they were easily the best players but then soccer is an English ...

... m not sure if these two facts are related). Although I think it's more likely that it's because that Americans seem to drive everywhere, not for them that long 100 yard walk from their drive to the local shop. The hotel room that we've been given at the moment is absolutely boiling hot, at about 2.30am Lynne worked out this was because the air conditioning vent was churning out hot air, regardless of what setting ...

... we saw was massive (a mile deep and 16 miles from one side to the other) yet we only saw such a small section of it. It's over 220 miles long. The colours and formations in the rock were amazing and the mighty Colorada river looked like a meandering stream trickling along at the bottom of it. If you looked really hard you could see tiny coloured dots on the water. They were rafts riding the rapids! And if the wind was blowing the right direction we could hear the ...
