Rattle & Roll

We've almost been four weeks in the Southwestern parts of the US and it's time to head back to SF, via San Diego, LA and Santa Cruz.

Our weeks in the desert have been very productive, invigorating and adventurous. Most days were spent reading and writing and the evenings cooking and enjoying the desert sunsets. But we also did several day trips.

The latest heart stopper was the discovery of a slumbering Rattlesnake right outside the house. It was right out of hybernation and enjoying the hot desert sun. We could have easily stepped on it since it was so well camouflaged. Kind of scary since the snake lied in our regular evening path to get logs for the fireplace.
