We spent a wonderful day in San Francisco yesterday. The highlights included the Golden Gate Bridge, the Palace of Fine Arts, Lombard Street, the Coit Tower, Fisherman's Wharf where we had lunch. We drove bait around town but the fog got in very early and we couldn't see anything past a certain altitude. We zipped through Sausalito on the way to the campground.

Long drive (part 2) - la route est longue (2ème partie)
We spent the night and woke up anew with a Denny's style breakfast prepared by sis and I... scrambled eggs with "bacon" and toasts with coffee or hot chocolate.
We strolled around Temple Square to take some pictures of the church and the Tabernacle and it was time to get back on the road.
Today we are driving to Reno. We will be crossing west almost half of Utah and almost the entirety of Nevada. We will spent the night in Reno and tomorrow we will visit Yosemite.
Hier nous avons conduit de Page dans l'Arizona jusqu'à Salt Lake City dans L'Utah. Bien que nous ayons traversés des paysages extraordinaires, ce fut un long voyage.
Nous passons une nuit tranquille et nous réveillons avec un petit-déjeuner préparé par Patou et moi... Oeufs brouillés, "bacon" et toasts avec café ou chocolat chaud.
On s'est promené dans Temple Square pour prendre quelques photos de l'église et du tabernacle et avons repris la route aussitôt après.
Aujourd'hui on va à Reno. On traversera presque la moitié de l'Utah et presque la totalité du Nevada. On passera la nuit à Reno et demain on visitera Yosemite.

A day of wonder - use journée de merveilles
Are we there yet? On est bientôt arrivés?
Ensuite c'est direction Zion. Traversée du Nevada, d'une partie de l'Arizona et nous voilà enfin dans l'Utah. Nous arrivons au camping assez tard. Un BBQ impromptu et nous dinons vers minuit (décalage horaire)....au menu, salades, saucisses et cotes grillées. Température impeccable par rapport a la vague de chaleur du jour précédent.
Breakfast at noon and once again we are late into our plans. We leave Las Vegas around 3pm for an obligatory visit to the Hoover Dam where we arrive around 4.
Then we head towards Zion. We cross Nevada, a small part of Arizona and then we finally get into Utah. We get to the camping site rather late. An impromptu BBQ and we eat around midnight (UT time)....on the menu, salads, sausages and ribs. The temperature is perfect compare to the heat wave of the previous day.

Grasse matinée - sleeping late
Once again we had dinner at 1am and then strolled around town until 5 on the Vegas strip. There are people out at any time. The risky outfits, the visibly drunks and of course the sights gave us lots of "ooh" and "aah"...
Las Vegas.....
On se promène et on apprécie la vue.
Finally in Las Vegas. It's 0:45am and it is 88•
We're just walking around taking the sights.
