ugh the mountains. I think I could easily make this place a winter retreat. The weather has been in the mid to upper 70's during the days & low 50's during the nights. The site we stayed on gave us an incredible view of the sunrise over the Arizona mountains to the east of us and unbelieveable sunsets over the California mountains to the west of us. We really enjoyed sitting out each evening and watching the sun go down. Of course, the most important site to visit here was London Bridge. We walked under it & we drove on it. It's incredible to think that it was shipped here piece by piece back in the 1960's or 70's. Who would hav
e thought that you had to go to Arizona & not London to see the London Bridge?? We drove down to Parker one day to see the dam on the Colorado River and enjoy the scenery. The water in Lake Havasu is so much bluer than any lakes back home. We also spent one day driving up old Route 66 to Oatman, Arizona. Oatman is a small western town where the donkeys come down into town each morning and hang out hoping to get fed carrots by the tourists and then they 
head back up into the mountains each night. While we were there, we decided to have lunch at a saloon where people have tacked dollar bills on the walls until you can no longer see the walls. While driving back to the site down Route 66, it was hard to believe that George & I had taken Route 66 home from California about 37 years ago whe
n we came back from our honeymoon. All the twists & turns really made for some fun driving with the top down on the EOS! Is it really winter??? I don't think so! Mr. Bailey has had a great time here because there were so many dogs his size to play with. He especially enjoyed playing with Ms. Twinkie Sparkles, a 13-week old Yorkie who had just as much energy as he did! We've met a lot of really nice people from all over the country here, but tomorrow we say good-bye to Lake Havasu and head to Sin City...Las Vegas here we come!
