After breakfast, Kathy made several calls to campgrounds in
During her cell phone calls, I climbed the ladder to
squeegee the dew off our slides. As I panned the view, I saw many trotters
zipping around the track, getting ready for the races. What a great view here
on the roof!
We left the Cal Expo RV Park in
Today's travel: 48 miles
1+20 time 8 gal used 5.9 mpg
35 mph avg speed.
This is a new campground for us; only (4) yrs old & big
rig friendly with extra amenities like instant phone service & DSL @ our
campsite @ no extra charge. They also provide daily trash pick-up at our site
& free daily newspaper, The Record. I called my sister, Mary Jo, & left
a message of our arrival.
Before dinner, Ray & his son, Nathan, Skyped us for
about (25-30) min. Having the new Apple computer & DSL high speed, Skyping
is almost like being there in person. It's been quite some time since we've
seen Nathan so it was great seeing & listening to him & finding out
what he's been up to after college graduation. Ray & Sharon should be proud
parents; he's doing well & is a fine young man. How do we know that? Why we just had a good
talk & visit with him!
Next we answered a Skype call from Nick & family. We
were so impressed with Jerry on this call; he was very talkative & animated
& very easy to understand as he told us about "nocturnal bats" & other
stories. It was quite interesting how well this young man continued to keep our
undivided attention with such expressive movements.
At some point, Jerry was more interested in food than
talking with us so Nick took over & downloaded the latest version of
"Moveable Type" which I have been using for this Blog. Altogether, 1hr & 46
min of Skype time.
Dinner: pulled pork with Rendezvous BB sauce, sourdough
bread & fruit salad.
Evening movie: "That Uncertain Feeling" with Merle Oberon,
Melvyn Douglas, Burgess Meredith, Alan Mowbray, etc. Chic little Lubitsch
comedy about married couple with problems, and their absurd pianist friend.
1941. Cute, entertaining & somewhat romantic.
Lights out: 12:34am.
