After a great church experience at Everyday Church, we spent our last day at Pismo Beach with Uncle Sam and Aunt Sandy. We checked on the Monarchs and learned another reason they snuggle right now is that they don't eat until spring! For once I'm glad I'm not a butterfly. We went for a long walk on a boardwalk over a lake, through the dunes, and to the ocean. Then we drove around the Santa Maria Valley and crossed the Santa Maria River which was bone dry! Uncle Sam treated us to supper at Cool Hand Luke's - which was a feast indeed - so now we can eat for a week off the leftovers.
Today we drove to Palm Springs through down town L.A. on the 101 past the Hollywood sign, at which we all oooed and ahhhed and kept on going. The traffic was crazy or the people driving were... but Tim was fabulous handling our great big truck and 35 ft. fifth wheel through all the spaghetti junctions! I was tempted to open my door a couple of times when the motorcycles whizzed past between the edge of my seat and the car next to me! Tim however, calmly drove on - without road rage or shooting anyone!
We are now "stationed" in Desert Hot Springs (twelve miles from Palm Springs) awaiting Christmas and the Amstrup's from Fort St. John. Having parked here in the dark though, we don't really know where we are or what it is like. I can tell that many of the shrubs and trees are quite spikey and there is sand wherever there isn't cement so we are looking forward to a wonderful surprise tomorrow when we wake up to a brand new place.
