For a moment I thought they went to Greece.
With the weather we were having it felt like it : )
The cars in the background probably give it away though.
Rob
Yeah- Euro cars are smaller sized then the big fat American gas guzzlers
Duncan
Well I did notice a beemer in the lot ....too bad its an SUV.Yuck!
No, but that's what we ate. What's a Midwestern breakfast without it!
I can't even remember what I had. I bet I had the egg white veggie omlet (because that's what I always have) with fruit and rye toast. Coffee.
I usually skip the coffee because I'm cheap but I was in a celebratory mood (whee livin' large!)
Further down the road I found this awesome rainbow in Las Vegas. (The original one, not the one with slot machines.)
Groovy, out of sight, and definitely trippy!

Hey, I've always wanted a gorgeous red beard like yours! Now if only I could get the blue out of the right side...
You just need to find one of those old projection TV sets with the separate colors and pull out the red one : )
Bill and Larry
I wish I had know you were in Vegas, as I am only a couple of hours away and would have driven down to visit.
That is three times we have missed now. Someday !!
Enjoy the rest of your trip.
Walter
I actually live in this town, you shouldve let us known
Gosh Walter I do wonder....
Have you eaten a lot of garlic lately?
(grin)
Kevin
We were down to Walter's Las Vegas in March and we thought of looking him up when there, but damn if we didn't have his phone number.
What Walter needs is to buy some space on one of those huge electrical signs, "For a good time call Walter, 123-4567! Long Haired! And Garlic Free!"
Bill
"For a good time call Walter, 123-4567! Long Haired! And Garlic Free!"
You mean rubbing garlic in your hair doesn't make it grow faster??
Giggle giggle !!
It Does help with split ends though.
So I'm told........
It must do something for hair. I've seen Absalom wolf it down by the clove.
Or maybe it's a python repellant? Scott, fill us in on its virtues!
Bill
It might keep the trimmers away! Grin!
Hi Walter,
Well that's a shame I will certainly bring some garlic and look you up. I know how it is and being the London "welcome matt" sometimes people are too busy on whizzy bus trips or family! But never mind.
I'm doing yonder west coast thing (not lower west side!) in October to Portland and Seattle with a fellow puesdo Eurofile!
Cheers,

Hey Bill,
Now that's an original pic if I ever saw one, --- and even without any rain in your hair or beard in order to get it!
Looks like you had a great trip this summer. Welcome back to SF, though, --- at least here you'll no longer need to hop into an air-conditioned car or hotel in order to cool off.... Just open up your living room window to let in a little bit of that chilly Pacific Coast fog!!

The first three weeks of the month-long trip were nice and cool. In Glacier National Park we could not even take the Logan Pass road. It was still snowed in. We then shot across the Canadian prairies and dropped down into Minnesota to walk across the headwaters of the Mississippi (tacky, but fun!) and go half a mile deep into an abandoned iron mine. Then we spent a few days with and and several days around Chicago after that. We caught the Fourth of July fireworks with in his home town overlooking the river downtown there, and the next morning we ate breakfast with him at that Corfu place.
Then that day we drove straight south and the weather drastically changed. It was hot, hot, hot, through Missouri, Arkansas, and across Oklahoma on US 412, where it hit 105 in Enid. We might as well have been in a snowstorm since all we did was dart from the car to restaurants and from the car to motels. We got some respite while visiting the relatives in Las Vegas - at 6500 feet elevation it was only in the nineties - and it was reasonably cool (is "in the nineties" reasonable?") until we got to Cortez. It was downright hot when we passed through Moab, and we followed US 50 across Utah and Nevada to Sacramento. More heat. We thought we'd seen the worst of it in Enid, but in Fairfield it was 106, the record for the trip! Forty miles later we crossed the bridge into 68 degree nirvana. Ah, blessed fog!
Bill
105 F Yikes! It hasn't been that hot here since the summer of 1995 when it hit 106 one day and I felt like I was back in southern Alabama. That was the one time when a cold shower actually felt good. I read today that the desert southwest around Death Valley has been 110 every day for about a week now. (But it's a dry heat, yeah right!)
Right now, I feel more like I'm in northern Michigan and I'm not complaining!
Anyway, that was a cool rainbow photo Bill.
Rob
...and so is a blowtorch, but I'm not sticking my face in one!!!
----------------------------------------------------
I have never seen a tie dyed face until now. That is a very creative photo, Bill. Welcome home.
Scott
That's a very cool picture, Bill.
I haven't been to Vegas since 1979. I need to think of some reason to go out West. It's so different than back East.
Hi Bill,
What a cool, and genuinely unique photo, and thank you for sharing!
Keep everything growing,
David
Nice shot of our MLHH alumni, Bill and Larry.
Nice that you had an opportunity to meet them!
- Oren
It's good to hear about Bill and Larrys' visit.
Thank for sharing.
Bruce
(good to hear from you too, Rob!)
