First Travel Letter

Saturday, 12/13/03 - Hello. Welcome to our type holiday letter . We are in Arizona. The sun is shining and it will be in the sixties today , which should melt the ice on the windows soon. Foot Ana 's does not seem to be broken, as we thought , which took a long walk in the desert night . We saw a coyote, probably the same that drove the other day, and there were javelina tracks everywhere.

The library has books in Spanish Safford to read Ana now appreciate its cache is disabled. The doctor promised that " Divet " left by his golf club , like the leaf will heal soon. We learned that the eyes have many nerve endings , and believe that the object in the eye may have been a yucca fiber .

Our uncontrollable cough under control, and not among the ten people in Arizona who died of the flu this week. Oh, and antibiotics Safford clinic seem to have contributed Ana abcessed tooth .

Should start at the beginning . The first day , after dealing with the employees of the INS coarse usual in Detroit, we arrived in Kansas. We got a traffic cone at high speed, and heard a terrible noise coming from under the truck . The cone , I discovered , had crawled underneath. Nothing was broken, but later the light switch stopped working .

Fortunately, we rode during the day after that. In the mountains of Colorado, we went from 16 to 20 miles per gallon , confusing the sensors and causing the " check engine " light to turn on . Successfully ignore until he changed his mind .

In Farmington, New Mexico, spent a few days of rest and cough. We were in time to buy a house when we discovered that needs a new wiring , had a hose connected to the natural gas pipeline and other problems that we missed our first visit. The old man asked me to buy it, called our motel room to tell me he needed money for open heart surgery in three days and called again to lower the price , but went front. In addition, the home must be a winter project , not a new home.

Monument Valley was beautiful, the Christmas parade in Holbrook was cute, and despite the various problems and diseases, we have a good time . You see, I do not want to make jealous, so I went to many - the constant sunshine , beautiful sculptures in Grand Junction, and nine times we were in the hot springs of Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. Next week we go to Mexico for lunch. I hope all is well in Michigan. Goodbye
