...to paraphrase red dwarf. And its not really a reference to Maria's first attempt at sour dough bread, which was quite crusty but very tasty and perfectly edible.
We've been busy visiting the desert around vegas for the past week, and there are a lot of rocks of all shapes, sizes and colours. Hoover dam, boulder canyon, valley of fire and yesterday was a 2+ hour drive over to Death Valley - lowest point in the US at -282 feet, driest here abouts and hottest in the world - fortunately yesterday was a pleasant high teens/low 20s. Would not want to be here in summer when it has reached 57c....
Saw our first coyote just after sunset, then stayed into the evening to see the stars from one of the lookout points - this is supposed to be one of the best dark skies locations here, and the milky way was very clear - almost as good as some of the places in Oz. But you could still see the glow from Vegas over 100 miles away and behind some 3000 ft mountains....

Hi, sounds like you're having fun. Would have sent you a Christmas card but don't know your address!!! We are hoping to visit California in the Summer, but I'm sure you would have moved on by then. Hope you are both well. We often think of you. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Best wishes Mandy, Chris and the boys xxx
