Santa Cruz

The last few days have been a whirlwind.  Last Wednesday, my assignment in Atlanta came to an end.  They walked me out about 2:30PM.  I drove straight home and unloaded my car, loaded what I needed in Larry's car and we headed for Dallas.  We took turns driving all night and arrived about 8:00 Thursday morning and the motorhome needed to be checked out of the RV space by Noon.  We left about 11:00 and drove from Dallas to a couple hours shy of El Paso.  The next day, Friday, we got as far as Tahachapi, CA.  After driving through 111 degrees of desert landscape, it was nice to sleep in 70 degree weather.
Saturday, we arrived in Salinas about 8:00 and left the rig at Walmart and took the car to Santa Cruz where we spent a good part of the day at the Boardwalk and ocean.

One of the things that strikes me during our travels is how the architecture changes.  These are some little cottages near the Boardwalk that are so indicative of the area, not so much in size but it style and color.

In El Paso, we could see a hillside full of Adobe style homes (from the interstate) that, to me, was reminiscent of ancient cliff dwelling tribes.  I didn't think a photo would do it justice but I wish now that I had tried to get a photo.

Since then I've taken other photos from the picture window called our windshield.  I'll post more.

PS This post is rather delayed because Blogspot doesn't work so well from an iPad.  It behaves much better on a laptop and access to wifi on my laptop is limited during travels.
