Good evening from Lake Havasu, home of a startlingly out-of-place London Bridge. There's also a Thai restaurant, and come to think of it, I'm not sure which is more out of place.
We got our first taste of endless desert as far as the eye can see. You might call it boring, but I've always thought that these landscapes had kind of a surreal beauty to them. Adrian put on some flamenco as we were driving through one patch, and it seemed to fit the surroundings somehow. I'm still at a loss to explain it.
Most of today was spent on the interstate, but we got a taste of the old road between Ludlow and Needles. We passed through Amboy, CA (population 2) and saw some abandoned roadside businesses. We took some pictures next to some of the signs. I'm not even a real shutterbug, but thanks to Sarah and Adrian my lack of acumen for photography is more than made up for. I think we'll have a real nice album by the time we're done.
Tomorrow: Williams, Arizona and the Grand Canyon. We still don't have a place to sleep tomorrow. This sure is a road trip.
