Ah, the land of palm and banana trees. . . and traffic! It's a good thing we already know our way around, as these folks drive like crazy! We've spent several days in the Long Beach area, celebrating the holiday with friends and family. It's nice to pause and take stock of all the things we have to be thankful for - good health, and the resources and freedom to travel the way we do are high on the list. It's hard to complain when your biggest problem is that the refrigerator is too full to store all the leftovers!
We spent the week at the Garden Grove Elks Lodge*. The parking spaces have water and power, and though the spaces are small, the lodge facility has a really nice park so there's plenty of space to get out and enjoy the sun. Fortunately we had quite a bit of that sun this week - a good rain one day cleared out the air, so the rest of the time we enjoyed a nice view of the snow capped San Bernardino Mountains.
It's time now for us to head back to The Republic for Christmas. We'll make a quick stop in Palm Desert to visit my sister, then waltz quickly across Texas so as to be back at the Ranch for the next Duck game. We'll probably take a bit of a hiatus from travel posts during December as we'll be occupied with holiday preparations, then get back in the swing of things with the new year.
