Somewhere in Nebraska we came across Julesburg, which is actually just across the border in Colorado.
You can get a little bored being in a car for 13+ hours a day... I was determined to get a shot of our car reflected in the hubcap of a passing truck. After many attempts (much to Stella's chagrin), this was the best i could do.
In Utah, the road stretched out forever. Or maybe this is Wyoming... or Nevada. Who can tell?
We finally arrived in Berkeley around 6:30 pm on the evening of thursday July 26. The trip was quite smooth, other than the muffler problem in Nebraska. Driving through the desert at the Utah/Nevada border was crazy though... one of the most intense rain storms I've ever driven through. In the desert. Does that strike anyone else as odd?
Unpacking was a tedious exercise... combining two houses of crap into one smaller house was quite challenging, but we finally (mostly) have it done. it's always that last 20% of any job that seems the hardest. We're loving it here, though. After a full week here, we finally got some use out of the lime tree growing in the back yard, first with a wonderful grilled salmon dish that Stella prepared, then with some mojitos that i mixed. What could be more perfect than a mojito with good white rum and freshly picked limes? I guess I'll have to grow some mint in the garden.
