View from Griffith Observatory, originally uploaded by Graham Hancock.
Went to the Griffith Observatory this evening to catch the sunset and see the city lights at night. Amazing views. You can view the rest of the photos I took by clicking on the one above.
I can hardly believe that it’s already July 1st. Effectively, I only have about 3 more weeks out here before I have to start gathering my things and make the three-day drive back home.
Wow. I honestly do not know how I’m going to top this one. While at a Barenaked Ladies Concert being held near our apartment, a surprise guest walked up on stage to help them out with a more Polka-y version of “If I Had a Million Dollars.”
They first announced him as “Awkward Al,” jokingly, and I didn’t get it at first, but when I saw a lanky guy jump on stage with an accordion I made a b-line for the stage, it was Wierd Al!
I’m well aware that my travel blog stopped short after we arrived at Flagstaff. Things got pretty busy after that. So I’ll try to pick up where I left off.
We left Flagstaff around noon. We had to stop for more fuel before getting completely out of town, so I stopped and filled up my X-terra with some $3.99-a-gallon gas, which as you will read later was just the beginning of my fuel-price woes for this leg of the trip.
Four states, twelve hours, two time zones, and 860 miles.
That was today’s trip.
The longest leg of our trip is finally behind us. We’re currently in Flagstaff, Arizona, ready to get some much needed sleep after today’s marathon driving session. We drove through Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona today. That is hands-down the longest distance I’ve ever driven in a single session.
