Dinner at El Pollo Loco (which translates as Crazy Chicken! :-)) – a chain version of the taqueria we stopped at for lunch.
We’ve decided on a change of plans for tomorrow. Instead of following Route 66 out of LA, we’re going to head into Nevada and go to Las Vegas! Hmm, I suppose I shouldn’t really journal that big – after all, what happens in Vegas… 😉
Well, Christmas is over for another year. We had a pleasant Christmas – not a lot of presents (well, apart from the major present of a new computer which we bought ourselves, but we’ve had that for a few weeks now, so the novelty is wearing off), but we had a lovely day mostly just…

The Outlaws finally flew back to the UK yesterday afternoon. It’s been lovely having them here, but 5 weeks is a very long time to have visitors (especially when you’ve given up your bed for them!) and I must admit by last week I was getting impatient for them to leave. I feel a bit…

Nice photos!
