Visited with Megan who is the new Director of the NEW community education division. We spent 2-1/2 hours discussing Boston Reed products, our online registration system, and ideas to help her get started with her new responsibilities. In 1999, I was exactly where she is when I was charged to start a community education department at College of the Desert. At lunch I was able to walk on the lake shore and boat dock, taking in more of the local beautify. The college is only one mile from our Best Western Hotel.... read more

Lo prometido es deuda. Aquí está el video de la boda en las vegas!. Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fP1RDkYNbOg Fue un gran día y la verdad es que lo pasamos muy bién, fue muy especial. Todo salió perfecto y no hubo ningún problema. Tanto Elvis como Neus y yo esperamos que os guste y disfrutéis tanto viéndolo como nosotros lo hicimos haciéndolo. Ahora solo queda celebrarlo con todos vosotros cuando volvamos. Sobre Las Vegas, solo decir que es una ciudad preparada para gastar dinero en ella, y una vez vistos los hoteles no ofrece mucho mas al turista cultural. Eso si, para pasarlo bién y como espectáculo seguramente no se puede comparar con nada en el mundo como podeis ver, es una de esas cosas (otra mas en este viaje) que hay que ver una vez en la vida, ... read more

We left Yosemite yesterday to drive to Lake Tahoe, but had a detour via Bodie an old gold mining town. This place is now a ghost town and its like stepping back into the wild west. Only a ranger lives there now, and it must be very dark and very lonely at night, there is no electricity and no-one else there. Unfortunately as we left Yosemite I got out to take some videos and the car door was slammed forward by a really strong gust of wind. It smashed against the front panelling and broke the hinge, we didn't know what to do. John managed to close the door and I climbed in through the driver's side. We couldn't continue on for 8 weeks like this so we decided to stay a few days at Lake ... read more

Geo: 38.8654, -119.993We drove across California from the coast to South Lake Tahoe with a stop at the Sterling Winery near Calistoga. The winery was definitely worth a stop even though it was a bit out of the way on the trip across the state and put us going through heavy traffic in the northern part of the Napa Valley. Philip likes their Reserve Cabernet so we wanted to stop and try out a few of their other wines. To get to the winery you must first ride their gondola 300 feet up the side of mountain to the top. The views from the gondola were quite nice; we could see the valley for miles around.In South Lake Tahoe we stayed at the Embassy Suites on the state line, but in the California side. Right across ... read more
