I hope you get the opportunity to look at the subsequent posts in this series to see what else I got up to on my rather loosely and spontaneously planned trip.<br /><br />There is great diversity in landscape and cultural experiences up and down the west coast that you will surely discover for yourself whenever you get the chance to visit.

I often find myself remarking on how similar pockets of California look to areas of Europe as though in a deja vu moment.<br /><br />The USA is begging for your arrival and I do hope you are busy plotting your visit soon Jane and Lance.Chronica Domushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732224119040843337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2454554472800124620.post-74001656488244022412014-08-07T03:43:48.176-07:002014-08-07T03:43:48.176-07:00hello,

Whereas,, just taking off on the spur of the moment can lead to all manner of excitements. Your road trip sounds to have been just that.<br /><br />And, although one's mind is often straying to other countries for holiday adventures, one's native land can offer so much more....no passport required. Your photographs capture the vast open spaces and very varied environments offered 'just down the road'. How perfect is that! Indeed, we almost thought that the sunflower fields were in Hungary since that is exactly what one sees at this time of year, fields stretching to infinity with the large yellow heads, facing the sunshine and bobbing in the breeze.<br /><br />And, what fascinating people you must have encountered on your trip too. We can hardly wait to hear all your tales. We have yet to visit the USA and this is certainly making us wish to get there soon.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2454554472800124620.post-30616789361809404252014-08-06T19:07:23.217-07:002014-08-06T19:07:23.217-07:00Hello Karen, we had considered going into Canadian...Hello Karen, we had considered going into Canadian Vancouver (not Washington) but,alas, passports had expired and we await our renewed ones.
