Where have you been?

We are both very excited that our America trip is only a few days away. I will unfortunately be unable to post from the road but I will be sure to take lots of photos to share with you all when we get back. Los Angeles isn't the best tourist city (poor public transportation and large distances between things means you absolutely need a car for example) but there are loads of things to do there. In addition to LA we will also be seeing the San Diego area, the California desert east of LA, Vegas, and southern Utah.


Basically our trip will be something like this:

• Los Angeles (Beaches, Shopping, Museums, more Beaches)
• San Diego (SD Zoo, Sea World, Baseball Games)
• The River (Dune Buggies, London Bridge, Hoover Dam)
• Vegas (Well, just Vegas)
• Utah (Zion NP, Guns, Mormons)
• LA (Final Shopping and Beaches, Universal Studios)
• Fly home!

These will be the last of the California desert photos I post for a while. The mountains above are immediately behind the city of Palm Springs and are the San Jacinto Mountains. You can take a ride on the Areal Tramway to the top and hike or walk around, or simply enjoy the view. I am not sure why I like the bottom photo of Interstate-10 but I do. I-10 goes from Santa Monica in California all the way to Jacksonville Florida and covers a distance of 2460 miles (3959 km). I have driven about half that distance from Austin Texas to Los Angeles. In all of Poland, by contrast, there are only about 480 miles (770 km) of what can be considered highway roads. Hopefully Euro 2012 will change that though.
