here, in san francisco
it is November.
Just like the city I left, Montreal,
it is indeed November.
however, in my new city, many of the trees still have their leaves.
their Green Leaves.
There are flowering bushes and shrubs.
They're actually Outside.
Right now, in Montreal, they have snow.
for California, this is not at all bizarre.
But i'm not accustomed to
this sort of climate.
so for me, this is all Very surreal.
we're Here !
we've arrived in San Francisco
to our "temporary" apartment / appartement.
it has a bed, chesterfield (sofa), fridge and a washer & dryer.
yahoou.
More photos of
the road trip will follow...
as well as a view from our new home.
I'm recharging the camera right now.
Made a trip to the market today.
I now have a fridge with california vegetables.
Oh and yes, they're organic.
in Nevada tonight.
tonight in Reno. it's thanksgiving here in USA.
not so easy to find something to eat today, on the road.
tomorrow, we'll arrive in California.
We've been lucky with the weather.
ok: i'll warn you now.
i'm going to add some photos.
the blog is fussy and only likes a few at a time.
(hence, more than one posting for photos)
I am not going to add them all.
I will add captions/info later on. (i hope).
my brain needs a rest so i won't be typing for much longer.
Ohhhh, and i'd love a cup of tea.
first: photos of my "wild west"
hotel room, here in Elko, Nevada.
We drove through another time zone today.
we're now in Pacific time.
we're in a best western.
it has a cowboy theme for
our room.
I've never had a cowboy room before.
There are buffalo on the bedspread,
moose on the wallpaper border, cowboy images
all around the room.
It's so much fun.
No cell-service here though.
we have a gps in the rented car.
it's been a huge help with finding our hotels.
tomorrow is USA's Thanksgiving day.
This morning, we drove
out of Wyoming. Mountains,
hills, plains.
Horses, Cows, Sheep. Mules, too.
(not the shoes, the four legged type)
Deer, hawks. Lots
and lots of sky.
i took lots of photos.
We drove through Utah
(hello Salt Lake City, Park City and The Salt Lake).
