The day started bright and sunny, as usual.   The sea was pounding on the rocks near our hotel and the seagulls screeching their demands of each other as we made our way to our breakfast place of choice, a superb bakery for Malc to have ... Read more >

Malc was dreading arriving here and Diana was really excited to see what it was all about. We came via the Hoover Dam which we enjoyed walking over [not the heat] and travelled towards LV.   We saw it rise out of the desert from a distance ... Read more >


Bye bye San Francisco - so sad to leave
