While we ready the next video, a quick update to the original post on the differences in the bathroom:
Day 123-124: San Francisco, California
We met up with Cirsten mid-morning in Half Moon Bay. We met her very lovely niece, who had worked at Google, but quit to stay home with her adorable daughter. We learned that, as expected, Google are quite a demanding…
Day 122: Silicon Valley
First thing in the morning, we headed to Cupertino, home of Apple: Apple got to create and name its own road, Infinite Loop. We became very familiar with this loop as it is nearly impossible to park there. We got…
Day 119-121: Into California
Maybe it was a bit much to write off Northern Nevada because of Southern Nevada, but though I find this region prettier, it still has the same overpriced fuel and is covered with casinos: We had another afternoon of video…
Day 117-118: Salt Lake City, Utah
After the BYU, we continued north to Salt Lake City, which wasn’t far, as cities were clustered together, similar to the other Western states we’d been to. It appears that all of Utah’s other major urban areas are either above or below Salt…
Day 115-117: Provo, Utah & Brigham Young University

Day 113-114: Las Vegas and Mesquite, Nevada
After finally leaving Arizona, we entered Nevada. We almost immediately went back into Arizona due to having a look at Hoover Dam, which is between the two states: We headed straight to Las Vegas as we had a room on…
Day 110: Phoenix, Arizona – Chicano Art and a Free Haircut
We checked out the recommendation of the lovely woman we met the night before. We saw a display of chicano art. Chicano is a fairly political word that was new to Chris, but familiar to me as someone who did…
Day 108-109: Phoenix, Arizona – The Sonoran Desert and the City
With more energy after a few low key days in the Econo Lodge, we went out to have a proper look at the Sonoran Desert. A mile or so outside of Mesa, the giant saguaro cactuses started appearing. It was like a…
Day 106-107: Phoenix, Arizona – A Show Home in Chandler
We took a day off due to having the cheapest hotel of the tour that is any good (and the whole driving 360 miles on the day before. It is actually cheaper for us to live at this Econo Lodge in…
