what can I say?

The apartment is beautiful and has surpassed all expectations, but the landlord did fail to mention one important thing - a VIEW OF THE GOLDEN GATE from our living room. Our backyard sounds like a rain forest and the N Judah's quiet roar is actually quite soothing. Boy, it feels good to be back in San Francisco.

from the canyonlands

They've got Big Love and big canyons. Yes, Utah is great. We've been here for two days exploring the arches and the slick rock of Moab. It's a pretty impressive place.

We're on our last leg of the trip now and should be arriving in San Francisco. I'm excited to get there, but sad to see our US tour come to an end.

Next stops: Grand Canyon and debate night at the casino.

guns and dead armadillos

We're already almost out of the "get your 72 oz steak now" state. And while there were plenty of 10 ft McCain signs plastered in front of the ranches, there were some Obama's spotted here and there - outside of Austin. A sigh of relief...

We're headed to New Mexico today. Maybe Tucumcari (the town "Cars" is based on). Maybe not.
