Road Trip Finale

by

The last few days of the trip took us through some interesting places. First, Santa Fe where we visited the historic downtown as well as the beautiful opera house. I got the unique opportunity to glimpse into life as an opera singer — a very interesting but demanding lifestyle! Becky and I attended a performance of Tosca, which was actually really enjoyable once I figured out how to turn on the subtitles. The next morning I took a nice and hot run through the Santa Fe desert.

We’ve Arrived!

by

Greetings from the beautiful (and hot!) Malibu, CA. Road trip was a great success. Possibly the most painful part was the last 2.5 hour drive from LA to Malibu in horrible traffic! Currently running on 3 hours of sleep after a late night in Vegas so I’ll recap the last legs of the trip later. Looking forward to turning in early and NOT having to wake up and get in the car in the morning. 🙂
