Greeting from Death Valley!

Where it is chilly at night (in upper 30's last night) and warm during the day, in the 60's yesterday.  It is supposed to be warmer today.

We have enjoyed traveling around the desert during the day in the Honda, looking at the weird and amazing rock formations in the mountains, and coming back to the coach in the late afternoon for a "social" and watching the sun go down behind the mountains.

For my artist friend:  You would love the Artist's Drive, a one-way road into the lower mountains where you can see all the colors the mountains have to offer.  There is a pull-off at a spot called Artist's Palette that is incredibly "painted" with many colors of minerals.  I took pictures, but I'm sure they won't tell the whole story.

Yesterday it was Scotty's Castle, a replica of a Spanish castle built in the desert, tucked into some hills, by a wealthy Chicago businessman in the '30's.  It has a great story that I will tell another time, as my battery is getting low (the computer's, that is).

Dave paid for internet for 24 hours so that he could do the banking and I could catch people up with where we are.

Ron and Fran:  we are sending you another postcard DVD.  Please share it with the 4th Street Cafe', OK?

Love you all, Sandra
