My Dutch friends have had their first western BBQ, they got to met and talk to the sweet and wonderful Dr. Bobbi, have hated leaving the San Diego area (I know how they fill -- I am still in "Misery"), have experienced really hot sun in Joshua Tree National Park, briefly saw and waved at my friend Robin, and have now seen Las Vegas. If is time to speed off to the Grand Canyon and 4-corners region. Afterwards, it will be the eastern slope of the Sierras, where I hope to give them a ferret fix with some people who sent invitations. They are enjoying themselves -- or so they say; I have found that "Bob" is a harsh treatment when given for prolonged periods of time. ;-) Schedules have been adjusted for Anya's cold, so the itinerary given earlier is not necessarily accurate. However, as I can arrange internet time, I will post updates so those waiting for a call can see our progress. Oh, Robin: Anja said she is very pleased with the one-eyed weasel from Ice Age 3. She actually giggled over it. I heard her. Thank you very, very, very much! Also, Bobbi: The friendliness of your family was very touching. Your group was one of the best ambassadors for America they have met. They keep talking about how nice the evening was and how much it meant to them. Thank you very, very, very much!
