Rim of the World Highway

On Sabbath afternoon , a friend and I drove to Lake Arrowhead. Here is a picture of a view looking toward the Inland Empire. This highway was completed in 1915. At one time, this 101 mile drive was the longest mountain road in the world.

From One Coast to Another

The weekend after my trip to Mexico, I took a Saturday night red eye trip to Florida for work. I was able to spend some time with my parents. The setting of their house is so relaxing and their backyard is like a grassy park setting. On Tuesday, I drove to Merritt Island and stopped in shortly to visit the people I used to work with when I lived there. The I went and had a good dinner with Diana and her mom. Her mom made some of her famous biscuits which we had with soup and salad. Yummy!

Back From Puerto Vallarta

My trip to Mexico was great and working at the orphanage was even better. Our group was able to paint tables and gates, fix playground equipment, do crafts with the kids and spend time playing games with them. The Children's Shelter of Hope that helps sponsor this orphanage is trying to raise money to buy a pickup as there are stores that would donate food if they had a vehicle to go and collect it. If you would like to make a tax deductible donation for the truck, please send a check to "Children's Shelter of Hope Foundation" at 505 N. Tomahawk Is. Dr., Portland, OR 97217.

One evening, we took at boat ride to an island and had dinner right next to the beach. We also had a chance to explore the countryside on a quad and dune buggy.
