Well, I’m back with more updates. I stayed an evening outside Los Angeles and went to Hollywood the next day.

On Hollywood Boulevard, at the Walk of Fame and outside Grauman’s Chinese Theatre – Steven Spielberg was here:

The following day we left. Here I am on the beach on Friday, at the Pacific Ocean in Huntington Beach, California:

At the Hoover Dam that same day:

And we finished the day in Vegas. Didn’t win big money – but I didn’t lose big money either.

We awoke to our return back East. Saturday was spent in Arizona, and we traveled several times on the historic Route 66:

From Route 66 we went to the Grand Canyon.

Traveling through the desert, you’ll never know what you’re going to see; I say it’s an alpaca, but Jon thinks it is a llama.

The “Painted Desert” really looks like it could have been…

At Four Corners (where Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado meet) I posed on Sunday.

We went through Colorado for the day on the San Juan Scenic Byway. This day was an adventure through beautiful landscapes.

Today we came down from Colorado through New Mexico to Texas. We happened upon a monument to Buddy Holly, the early rock star. The matching outfit wasn’t planned, I swear!

So, here we are so far. We’ll be going around Texas tomorrow, then to Louisiana, up the Mississippi to Memphis, then St. Louis and then finally home. I can’t wait to see you all!
