Vancouver to Phoenix

Surprise, surprise – I have figured out a way to download my photos on the laptop and I can carry on with my blog from Mexico after all. We had a great road trip here including a very enjoyable stop in Phoenix to visit Ellen and Kathleen as well as Dakota and their new kitty, Olivia. We left the cold weather and the rain behind us and had lovely although cool weather down to Phoenix. We made it to Redding, CA the first night and to San Bernardino the second night. On Wednesday we arrived at Ellen’s and Kathleen’s. Mom’s stew for dinner topped off with kahlua cake! Unfortunately, that was the last we saw of Kathleen as she came down with the flu and was confined to quarters for the remainder of our stay. Went shopping on Thursday to stock up on items we can’t easily get in PV. We were greeted with cold and rain on Friday morning – can’t seem to be able to escape it for very long. Stan felt a cold coming on so he hunkered down and rested all day. Ellen and I went to see Freedom Writers in the afternoon – great show. Another great dinner and an evening of Grey’s Anatomy and ER! We had breakfast with Ellen on Friday morning and got back on the road heading south around 10 a.m.
