Day Three

Today felt like a really long day to me - 946 km. I think the "sitting in a car" thing is starting to take a toll on me. I am not much for car travel and, well, today was just long. Hope slept for some of the day, as evidenced by the photo! Awe, she even has her teddy bear along!

Through most of the trip, both sides of the road were lined with fruit trees or grapes. There were many signs reading, "Dust Bowl caused by Congress." From what we learned, the government has serverely limited the water available to the farmers for irrigation and as a result, many farmers have lost their crops. The areas were there was no irrigation, the land was like sand and the weeds that were growing were silvery white - completely dried out. In BC, we really do take water for granted. We have so much clean, good water. We are truly blessed!

The vehicle is running well except the clutch is making some weird noises every now and then. Rocky is thinking we may have to have someone look at it. I think that is causing him a bit of stress, so if you could pray about that - the clutch and the stress - we would sure appreciate it.

This afternoon, around 5pm, we arrived in Anaheim. We checked into the hotel and went to Downtown Disney to look around. This is Hope's first time at Disneyland and she is pretty excited to see it. We had supper and then stayed to watch the fireworks.

Tomorrow morning we will be at the gate ready to go by 8am and she is hoping to put in a full day! We will have to see how much stamina we have!

Blessings,
