Roadtrip III

Hola a todos!!
we are in the city of summer fog.
From Emily's and Andrew's house we have a great view of San Francisco (California) night lights.
Our last notices are:

1. We left Saint Louis with a plane, and Jad said goodbye to us there with his right hand (because he had in the left one a Starbucks coffe). We miss you Jad!
2. We went to Luis de Otto graduation, had big meals with the de Otto's family and other spanyards in San Jose. Manolo did 55 years!
3. We found the beat San Francisco.
(I eliminated number 4, jump to number 5)
5. Manolo and Liz did bicing through the dock.
6. We were guide by Anne (Liz's fine arts companion) trough the amazing city center and city sky (not joking)
7. Pablo and Carlota were converted to the Scientology.
(If you're converted too, jump to number 9)
8. Tomorrow we leave to Yosemite natural park.
9. you're bitten by a snake, jump to number 3

As we are exploring nature and returning to the real sacrifice pilgrimage (through Ronald Hubbard's path), we will recover our dialy prayers.
Thanks to you all for your posts!

Roadtrip II

Yo, everybody!
As we are having good days of relax in Liz parent's house, we are glad to communicate to our anonymous and non-anonymous readers that we have organized the photos and are going to make our blog as attractive that you can't resist of looking at it.
The pilgrims arrived to Saint Louis with a fantastic welcome dinner (and a "Welcome los pilgrims" placard, done by Kueneke's daddy). At the moment, there are some many people in the kitchen, we have two typical pies in the table and, right now, there is a suggestive smelling of paella in the air.

The emotion is flowing in the air, too, after our staying in John.B's house in NOLA (New Orleans...). You can't miss the photos. I mean, you can, but you shouldn't.
California wine is entering in our diet, on Friday, Los pilgrims are going to get an American Airlines plane direct to San Francisco.

Roadtrip part I

Hola everybody!!! I'm writing from a small and elegant little house of New Orleans.
For those who don't know this city...people asks you things in the street, people drinks a lot (specially impossible to scape of that), people plays and listens a lot of (great) music, people escaped of this city after Katrina, and people is rebuilding, reconstructing and trying to get back the personality and south spirit of this charming city.
As you can see in the photos, we had two new pilgrims added in our group from Washington to Auburn. Summer, oh sweet summer, and Jad, the jolly one.
As you can see too, during this first part of the trip, we haven't stopped to live such American experiences, as the baseball match and the BBQ in DC, a particular cruise to lost islands in Savannah, dovermans, snakes specialists, whiskey, farms, bluegrass and country in Alabama (sweet home) and killing jazz and melancholic blues in New Orleans. All of that with very buena company! More, more, more, more!

we are eating enough (sugar) and we are not going to get a cold with this 100 degrees.

Carlota de Otto to join pilgrims!!!!

To the delight of all, Carlota de Otto (daughter to Manolo and sister to Pablo) will be joining the pilgrims for the entire roadtrip in the U.S. Carlota, who has spent the past year in Lisbon, Portugal, is studying to be a teacher, and also practices flamenco dancing on the side. She is a great walker on our yearly Spanish pilgrimage (except when hitchhiking). ¡Venga! We are now officially 5 permanent pilgrims on the roadtrip, but there is still room in the mini-van for anyone who wants to ride along for a few days. Or if a few of you want to come along, we could always start a train of cars. All are bienvenidos!
