Mrs. Dickinson's RV

Today we were higher than the city of Denver. Our RV climbed to about 7000 feet as we drove to Walnut Canyon, a national monument with early Hopi Indian ruins. It was one of the coolest things I have ever seen. There were 278 steps down (Evie counted) plus some flat, very narrow trails. The Indian dwellings had been dug out of the canyon walls and some of them even had little windows. The bottom of the canyon used to be a sea bed millions of years ago and when we reached the bottom, it was almost perfectly quiet. This particular place in the canyon was considered sacred by the local Indian tribes and there were very strict rules about noise level and what you could/could not touch. The way down wasn't nearly as strenuous as the way back up - imagine climbing 185 vertical feet at such a high elevation. We were all huffing and puffing and felt incredibly out of shape. After we left Walnut Canyon, we drove to Meteor Crater - the most well-preserved and first proven meteor impact site in the United States. It's hard to describe the enormity of the crater. The diameter was equivalent to 20 football fields, and rocks on the other side that looked tiny were actually the size of your average house. There were 4 viewing platforms with telescopes to see various aspects of the crater like the raised strata, a drill hole, and many of the large rocks. This impact site has been crucial to discovering many of the secrets of our solar system. It was sort of eerie but awesome at the same time. After we left there we drove to Holbrook (stopping in Winslow, AZ to take a picture at the corner there ... it's in some old song with which I'm not familiar because I am only 17 after all) and had dinner at Butterfield Steakhouse. Now we're hooked up at the Holbrook KOA and tomorrow we're seeing the petrified forest. Good night!

Abbott-Day 6 (Feb. 27)

Today was an interesting day. Since it was a Saturday, Ms. Abbott allowed us to sleep in (actually according to Madie who was awake at the time, Ms. Abbott was in the shower, which is why there was a sleep-in). But anyways, it was longer than what was normally expected. Our sleep was interrupted though when Lexie came bursting in to ask for a blow dryer. Since her unexpected visit left us all wide awake, we decided to start getting ready for the mall. Nearly everyone from other RV's were already up, and we had to frantically get dressed for the mall. We were then reminded by Déjà that it was just a mall and we would never see these people again in our lives. Before we could go to the mall though, we had to stop by walmart to get money for people who ran out from the previous week. We then drove an hour to the mall and we were given two hours to shop. After this, we met back up, and it was agreed to shop for one more hour. The mall was big and expensive. The first store that I went into was forever 21. The store was as clean as I had ever seen it in my life. most forever 21s have clothes everywhere and you have to search for things that you would like to buy. We went to a lot of stores. We then headed back to the forever 21 to buy the things we put on hold. The next store that I went to was American eagle. While in the store someone who was standing out in the front of the store came in and stole a stack of denim shorts from the front of the store. After that, the shopping was normal. The next place we went to was the rodeo. The rodeo was great. The first exciting thing we did was taking turns riding the mechanical bull. Since we were under age, we had to have a guardian sign for us. Mrs. Dickinson wouldn’t sign unless she had confirmation from our parents. Once I had confirmation, I was able to ride the bull. Lexie and Madie were the ones to stay on the longest. While in the street while walking, Ashley and Aliviana were shot at with a fake gun (it was part of the show). It was scary as crap! To pass time, we all went to see the gymnastic competition that was taking place in a building near us. the gymnasts were amazing. We then went to the actual rodeo. It was pretty cool. We saw barrel racing, cattle lassoing, and steer wrestling. It was high school rodeo, and the contestants were really talented. We are now heading up to the north, where it should be snowing. Wish us luck.

The RV park is incredibly nice!

Ms. Dickinson's RV: February 28

Hello all. Today was another entertaining day is Ms. Dickinson and Stratton's RV. We began the day with a little shopping at mall just like any other mall in America. Everyone was happy with their purchases. After the successful shopping excursion, we went to a rodeo, which unlike the mall, is unique to this area. At the rodeo, Ify rode the mechanical bull... it was a sight to see (don't worry there are videos). I think she thought she was going to be really good but she wiped out soon after getting on. The rodeo itself was... interesting. Ms. Dickinson had to calm us all down because we were more concerned with the steer than the cowboy/girl. Then began the arduous journey to our camp ground. An 18 wheeler decided to test Ms. Dickinson's driving skills.. needless to say our lives flashed before our eyes.. well Maggie and Lucy's that is. Ify and Evie were passed out. Oh how we longed to pass that truck again and give them a piece of our mind. But I digress.. we finally made it to the camp ground after around 3 hours... the trip was only supposed to take 1 and a half. Technology is not always the best guide. Pictures will come tomorrow.

Ms. Meyer's RV aka. Humahumanukanukawapawa

Today, most of us woke up at 7:00. Susan, Emily, and I waited for the laundry room to open at 7:30 and took showers while our laundry cleaned. After everyone had gotten ready we had seperate breakfasts like bagels, poptarts, ect. Once we hit the road we headed to Chandler Fashion Square mall. At the mall we were alowed to shop for around three hours, and choose to eat lunch in the mall or in the RV after shopping. When we all met to leave the mall around 2:15 we traveled to a highschool rodeo, where teenagers competed. When we arrived at the rodeo we realized that we were early, so we all lined up to watch or ride the mechanical bull. At first I was nervous about riding the bull but after I rode it i felt acomplished even though I only stayed on for a short time. After riding the mechanical bull we all watched Mrs. Haney and Mrs. Dickinson ride it also. By the time the rodeo started everyone was in their seats ready to watch. The barrel racing was fun to watch but what really shocked some of the SMS girls was the steer wrestling.This is where the cowboys jumped off their horses at a gallop onto the steer, grabed its horns and wrestled it to the ground with all four legs in the air. After the steer wrestling there was the steer roping, and team roping. After the rodeo we hit the road to our campground for the night near Flagstaff. There our RV cooked hotdogs and corn for dinner. Today was my most favorite day of the trip so far.

Friday, February 26 2010 ABBOTT

This lovely morning, not unlike the others, came with slight confusion and chaos. The first signs of arousal came when the RV as a whole was woken up to Deja’s glorious alarm on her phone at 6 am. While everyone was trying to collect their thoughts and figure out why they were being woken up, we all unanimously (without consulting each other) decided that we would all remain in our beds and wait for another other than ourselves to turn off the alarm. In the end, it was Deja who saved us from the repetitive beeping, yet nearly killed us by having it in the first place. After that, the others in the RV peacefully returned to their slumber, while I lingered in limbo of consciousness, trying to return to the shores of sleep. While tossing and turning, I soon found out that in my sleep, Deja had pranked me by placing grapes in my bed (which I rolled over onto). I then patiently waited for everyone else to wake up and was relieved 30 minutes later when Emily knocked on the door so that I could unlock the bathroom for her and be able to stretch my legs. After doing so and refusing to go back to my bed, I decided the best idea was to take pictures of the mountains and stroll around outside. I was then hopeful after my outdoor excursion that at least one of my fellow RV members would be awake, so I soon made my way back to the RV. Alas, no one was awake though, so I returned to the outside to ponder what to do next. My next attempt for one to be awake was successful in my next round and I opened the door to see Ms. Abbott in the kitchen. This was a great relief and in that time I taught her how to receive text messages from Facebook about notifications. Soon the others woke up and it was time to make breakfast. This brings about the only unfortunate aspect about the cooking in our RV, which is Ms. Abbott’s need to cook everything with oil (any kind, vegetable or olive). After breakfast, the laundry was collected and quarters were round up to make a trip to the Laundromat (which was only a 4 second walk). Luckily, all of the washers were being used but one, so it was my job to try to stuff every article of dirty clothing we had into the single washer. With this time afterwards many dawdled, took showers, wrote in their journals, and in Ms. Meyers RV’s case: sanitize and clean their whole entire RV from top to bottom. Before long though it was time to put all the clean garments into a dryer, but unluckily it was found that all of the dryers were being used. This put a damper on our RV for it was about nearly time to go and Ms. Abbott was getting antsy about as to how we would dry our clothing. This problem was fixed though by the idea of hanging all of the attire from the inside of the RV to airdry. Following this, we went rapidly on our way to the historic town of Tombstone where the legendary Gunfight at the O.K. Corral had taken place. We were let loose when we arrived and our RV decided to stay together for a short while and check out some stores. We then remained in Tombstone for several hours, but it seemed only a short while until we were all once back onto the road again. Thankfully, we stopped at a unique Monastery to enjoy some baked goods and take a look at the thrift store that was available. I can say happily that I bought some nice $5 roller blades. It was then quite a drive to Phoenix, but our RV was entertained by the guys trying to look cool on their motorcycles and by Ms. Abbott’s fascination with how huge the houses looked on the mountain. The arrival at the KOA Kampground was a huge reprieve from the slightly cramped vehicle and the word that there was a pool on the premises spread rapidly. Everyone then enjoyed their time on the RV park and relaxed. Dinner was also a great success in our RV with Ms. Abbott cooking the first hamburgers (on the stove) she has ever cooked. It was an enjoyable day.

Friday the 26th

Hey guys,

Evie here :) it's my day to blog. Anyways this morning we woke up and stayed in Tombstone for a bit. Some people went panning for gold, others shoped for cool suvineers (Sorry if I spelled that wrong) There was suppose to be a live gun show..guess not. We left about 1PM. On our way to our next camp sight right out side of Pheonix we stopped at a monestary. Mrs. Dickenson was nice enough to buy us some fresh muffins for the morning!!!

Hope you ejoy,
Love,
EVIE!!

Today we woke up really early. We left Tappahannock at about 3:00 am. We drove to the Richmond Airport and we finally left on a plane to Las Vegas. We arrived and waited in Wal-Mart for about three hours. We were starving because we did not eat anything and it was already 4:00 pm. We were waiting for the RVs, and for the people that were buying the food for the RVs. We left from Wal- Mart at 5:30. Then we drove to the RV Park where we were going to sleep. The place was really pretty. It had a lake and it had swings and obviously bathrooms and showers.

This morning we woke up at about 7:00. It took us a while to get into action, but finally we all rolled out of our beds. It was so nice and warm outside. We opened the windows of our RV and were hanging out of them like little puppies. We rode for about two hours to get to the place where we had reservations for a boat ride on the Colorado River. While we were bonding in our RV we noticed that there were a lot of Mexicans who were working on fields and walking on the side of the road. Andrea started to yell out the window to them referring to them as her “Beautiful Mexican Friends”. We then got to our destination where they were waiting for us with a big boat. We were in the middle of California and Arizona. We did a lot of hiking up mountains, which our RV did not like very much. We returned to the RV where we found out our toilet had overflowed again. There was water overflowing out of the door of our bathroom. We decided to call it a day and head to our RV Park. It was so nice and the bathrooms were very clean. We hung out with friends for a little bit and then headed to our RV for another big day ahead of us.

Today we woke up at about 7:00 am to go explore through a field of cacti. The road trip took us approximately four hours which our RV did not mind because that meant we had four hours of sleep to catch up on. When we arrived to our destination we walked around the gift shop and watched a movie on cacti. Afterwards we hiked up a mountain; the view was great but our legs were really tired. When we finished our sight-seeing, we drove to a Mexican restaurant called La Fuente. Everyone enjoyed the food, except for the Mexicans which claim that actual food from Mexico is much better. After that we took our showers and went straight to bed to prepare ourselves for the next day.

Today was a great day, we woke up at 8:00 and like every day we clean everything up and then we left. We went to a museum, but it had a lot of animals so it was kind of like a zoo. It was so cool; we saw a lot of animal like cats, wolves, birds, reptiles, and more. We also saw a big bear, we think that was kind of scary, but at the same time awesome. We took a lot of pictures. After that, we went to Wal-mart, but we only had 20 dollars to spend for our RV, that was horrible, because we couldn’t buy junk food. We also ate McDonalds. When we finished, we went to the RV Park, and we hung out for about an hour. Then some of us went to eat dinner to a town called Tomb Stone. Later, we came back, we took showers, and then we went to sleep.

Day 5

By Andrea Campillo
Today was a great day, We woke up at 8:00 am, and everybody was exhausted, after we woke up we cleaned and some girls had to take a shower, after those girls took a shower we ate "lucky charms", we then headed off to Tombstone, which is a small town about a mile away from the RV park we stayed at. The town was filled with little small shops and a bunch of cowboys. We stayed there for a little more than 3 hours. We headed off to Phoenix and on the way there we slept, we also were planning to give massages to each other, that was so much fun. after we arrived on the RV park, some girls went to the pool and everyone else was making dinner and my RV prepared chicken nuggets and corn on the cob, which Lilia and I made. After we ate most of the girls in our RV took a shower. After that Ms.dickinson tried to help me to get on this blog but we couldn't et on it, so now I;m writing on Emily's computer and I'm about to sleep!!!!!! bye bye

Ms.Abbott A-Team

Today we woke at 7:00 am cooked breakfast and cleaned up the RV. Finally leaving the the RV park we went off to a wild life museum in Tucson., Arizona . I saw lots of animals that I have never seen before up close such as Bob cats, snakes and much more. We had lunch in the parking lot but everyone seemed to noticed that they had ran out of food so we went to the nearest walmart. After we arrived at our our rv park in tombstone a group of people went into the local town and shopped and ate dinner. After getting back to the RV everyone just sat around laughing and looked at pictures.

Day 3, 4, and 5

February 24, 2010

(Ms. Meyer's RV By: Emily and Susan). (Emily Lindsey) We crawled out of bed nearly an hour before the sun peeped over the horizon. With only an hour to prepare ourselves for the day we decided on pop-tarts as opposed to anything gourmet. A four hour drive, filled with music, the wind through our hair, and dreadfully awful jokes told to us by Ms. Meyer, took us to Organ Pipe National Monument. There we saw a huge assortment of Cacti. I believe it's one thing to look at nature, and another to become one with it, so-to-speak. Many of the Cacti had a sign in front of them giving us information about them such as their names and what they are used for/what may be taken from them. (Susan Donges) After venturing through the Organ Pipe National Monument, we made our way over to the mountains to go on a beautiful, yet tiring hike. The hike took 30 minutes for some, while other stragglers took anywhere from 1 to 2 hours. Meanwhile back at the RV's others attempted to tan, and take pictures for their facebook profiles. After a day filled with fun, and many cacti, we made our way to a restraunt called La Fuente. There we enjoyed a delicious traditional mexican me, also we experimented with jalapeno pepper. To some such as Ashley and I, they made our mouth fire and sent us running for water. Unlike people who Emily who barely flinched. As the day grew to an end our singing abilities came out in our own versions of the Venite and Sanctuary. We had Isis as our own personal beat box, and Emily who led us with her unique vocal skills. Finally, exhausted from our long day of travel we jumped in the pool for a nice relaxing swim. By the end of the day, were all exhausted and ready for sleep, but excited to see what the day ahead holds.

February 25, 2010

This morning we took off and headed for the Sonorah Desert Museum. There we watched a short introduction film about the wildlife in Arizona. Then, we were "set free," to explore and learn more about the animals and plants found in the desert. There we saw Coyotes, Wolves, Prairie dogs, Racoons and various kinds of birds. It was a wonderful experience. In addition, the view from the Museums paths were remarkable, as they seem to wherever we are here in Arizona. Arizona has not yet seized to amaze and astound us with its breathtaking beautiful landscapes. Once we arrived in Tombstone at our Campsite for the evening we were once again "set free" to explore the town of Tombstone and brief ourselves on where we'd like to visit the following morning to shop

February 26, 2010

Yes! Sleep in! Today began wonderfully as a result of the extra hours we were given to sleep in. Although it didn't make a very large difference in my RV (Seeing the majority of us go running, and the only one who does not is an early bird!). However, it was a nice thought to have those few extra hours! Anyways, once we'd woken up and gotten ourselves together we took off for the quaint time of Tombstone. The men and woman were clothed in the attire you would have seen them wearing during their time. We visited the O.K. Corral, and other historical sites. The majority of the girls took advantage of the shopping opportunity. After we'd finished shopping we hit the road again for Phoenix. The trips to the next stop are always great fun. I tried to catch up on a little bit of sleep and awoke the my "RV Mates" tying my shoes together, and blowing up a pool raft in the center of our RV. Don't ask me why, I haven't got an answer for you. All I can say is I'm having a wonderful time, and feel blessed to be given the chance to spend this time and share this experience with students at St. Margaret's, that have become friends of mine.

Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum (CupCake's RV Day 4)

Howdy! I've always wanted to say that and I thought that this would be the perfect opportunity :). So after a long, hot, and rather entertaining hike through the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, it was nice to dedicate a day to looking at animals. I saw everything from owls, to snakes, and even bears and coyotes! I not going to lie it was INTENSE! Deja, Aliviana, and I ended up watching this really cool “Bird in Flight” show. It happened to be more interactive than I expected. These birds were flying everywhere; over your heads, landing on your shoulders and hands, and behind your backs. For those who haven’t seen it, I really recommend that you do so. The animals are unlike anything I’ve ever seen! The funniest part of it all is that this 7 years old girl seemed to know more about these birds than I did! I was truly considering bringing her along on the trip as my personal tour guide because she was beyond genius! After leaving the museum, we headed towards Tombstone, Arizona. This place should be known as the creepiest place on earth! It looks like something straight out of an old western movie. I know my Uncle Les and Cousin Preston would appreciate it because I surely did! It was really cool to head into town during the night. It made you feel like you headed into a ghost town. For those of you with weak stomachs, I do not suggest that you take this tour alone :). Tomorrow we will be heading into town during the day to do some shopping and watch reenactments of western shootouts. I’m super excited about this! Who would have ever thought that a city girl like me would end up in Arizona? Best experience yet <3

Having So Much Fun,

Ify

(Pictures from day 2 Riverboat tour)

Well, I just wrote the best blog ever, but it just got deleated so if I miss anything I am

sorry. This morning we had to race against the time when we woke up at 6:50 and were supposed to leave at 7. Although we were the last to rise we were one of the first to be ready to leave. We drove for miles on end, just to stop at a sign and take a picture, or so we thought. We then went to a cactus farm to look at things that we have seen over a billion times. :) We went on a 1.5 mile hike which by the way, was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Boarder control pulled us over and thought we were trying to smuggle in Mexicans. None of them had anything to prove that they were allowed to be in the united states. We also found out that we could have running water while driving.When driving we played the ABC game and Madie said Asphalt but Aliviana wrote down A-hole. Haha.We then arrived at Tucson. At the end of the day Ms. Dickinson paid for all of us to go out to this nice resturante. When we got back, we went swimming and had a nice time. Oh, just incase you guys wanted to know, I am writing this blog with the beautiful aroma of pickles caressing my nose, thanks to Ms. Abbotts driving. :) We are now a happy family cuddled up in bed. :) Good night.

Semper Ubi Sub Ubi (Cup Cup's RV, Day 3)

On the boat before seeing petroglyphs on the Colorado River

Greetings all from Arizona! This post is going to be far superior to yesterday's ... Maggie Allen is clearly lacking in the blogging skills department. Anyway, today we woke up at an ungodly hour (6AM) in order to get on the road by 7. We ended up being a bit late because the water literally took 45 minutes to boil - let's just say that the tiny RV stoves leave much to be desired. We spent three and a half hours on the road to get to the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, which, surprisingly, is not a large sculpture of a cactus, but your normal national park. I was pleasantly surprised. After a 15-minute informational video about the Sonoran desert, we went on a mile and a half loop and looked at the huge variety of cactus and other landscape. It was absolutely breathtaking. I didn't know there was such a wide variety of cactus, but there is. To be quite honest, I'm rather tired of cacti. I miss trees! The big excitement of the day was when Evie managed to lodge a cactus ball into her ankle, something that no one should ever have to experienc. I also got sunburned after an hour in the sun, which is entirely not fair. I will unfortunately be wearing my SPF 55 tomorrow in the very strong sun. After we had hiked the loop, Ms. Dickinson and Stratton were nowhere to be found, and we were hungry... so we broke into the RV through the window. No big deal. I stood on Ify's shoulders and she gave me a big shove as I tumbled in through the window. Success. When we finally left, it was a 5 hour drive to Tucson. We'd planned on going to the Kit's Peak Observatory to stargaze but the program was canceled due to inclement weather (I didn't see a single cloud, but hey, I don't make the rules). We went to a great Mexican restaurant called La Fuente for dinner.

Now we're sitting in the Tucson RV Park, and we can hear the Tucson traffic. It's weird to hear sounds of civilization when we've been in the middle of nowhere for so long!

day 2

On our second day of the Arizona Road Trip our RV made a wonderful, nutritious breakfast of cereal. We then explored the camp ground and took many beautiful pictures of Lake Havasu. We then embarked on a three hour journey to Yuma Lakes. We took boat tour of the lakes and were let off to explore the scenery. We learned a lot of survival tricks and how Indians made their tools. We also got to see markings of early American Tribes dating back 2000 years ago. our tour guides, Ron and Bob, where very interesting, friendly, and helpful. After our tour we set off to the Yuma Lakes RV park. It took us 2 hours to find the park. on our way to the Rv park e had may hold backs. one of the other buses had a bathroom explosion and our RV had a loose pipe that was dragging on the ground. This was our first night where we had to cook our food. We decided to cook home- made hamburger-helper. It was great! after a long day we went to sleep.

Day 1

The first day of our Arizona Road trip was both a interesting and tiring. We started our first day at 2:00 in the morning, and were on our first flight to Atlanta at 5:45. From there we switched planes, and were headed to our final destination of Las Vegas, Nevada. My flight was delayed almost an hour because the co-pilot failed to be prompt. Once we got there the airport was amazing. It was huge and had slot machines everywhere. The rush was both exciting and intense. The other flight that had flown American Airlines were already there waiting for us as we boarded the shuttle to take us to our next destination: Wal-Mart. Because the drivers had to get the RVs, and watch a short video about safety, we were stuck at Wal-Mart with Ms. Meyer and our entire luggage, in a parking lot. Every person that rode by stared at us like we were either homeless or had some real mental issues. We went into Wal-Mart with two people from each RV. Our task was to buy a weeks worth of food for our entire RV. We stayed there 2 hours waiting for our drivers to return and waiting for people to come back from shopping. Once the RVs were there we loaded up our food and our luggage, which took another 2 hours. With our crazy driver, my RV was stuck cleaning up after ourselves after every turn.

We were in Las Vegas maybe 6 hours until we encountered some problems. One of the RVs had a gas leak and we had to return it and the people from that RV had to transfer all of their food and luggage, again. With that we were off to the Hoover Dam. It was beautiful and most girls took their share of photos. After that, we had dinner at a diner on Route 66. THe last stop of the day was the RV Park and Lake Havasu. Once we got there we took showers and our day ended with a peaceful rest.

Ms. Dickinson's RV: February 22 - 23

Hello all, this is the first time we have had internet since we've been here so apologies for the late post. Yesterday we arrived in sin city after a long, hot, and uncomfortable flight. We were grumpy but once we entered Arizona it became clear that the misery that is airline flights was all worth it. The Hoover Dam was a sight to see, the sheer mass of the ravine itself was overwhelming. The workers are building a new bridge over the ravine... it's HUGE (google image it). We crossed over the London Bridge but I'm sad to say everyone in Ms. Dickinson's RV missed it.. we were all sleeping (read the above post about the long, hot, and uncomfortable flight). We finally arrived at our camp grounds much to everyone's pleasure. Today we woke up and were atonished by our beautiful surroundings... who knew the desert was this beautiful? We then journeyed to Yuma were we sailed up the Colorado River. This river surprisingly doesn't drain into the ocean. Our tour guide was quite loquacious.. by the end it is safe to say that no one particularly cared about how to make a spear. We saw pictures on rocks that ancient peoples had carved thousands of years ago. The landscape surrounding the river was one of the most beautiful sights I've ever seen.. it looked like something straight out of National Geographic. Anyways to sum up the last two days, our long trip was made absolutely worth it by the beauty of Arizona.

Days 1 and 2

Hello from R.V. Humohumanukonukawapowaa!
This is the first time we have had internet so we are sorry that we couldn't post until now, we will try to post everyday if possible but if not we will post as often as we can.
Yesterday we had a very long day, we arrived at Las Vegas in the morning after 8 hours of flying. We went to Walmart for a long time to get food for the first week while some of the teachers picked up the R.V.s. Then we hit the road for lake Havasu but we had to stopand switch out one of the RVs which was having problems. We drove over the Hoover dam and then the London Bridge and for dinner we stopped at a diner on Route 66. We had a lot of fun on the way to sites and we sat at the table and chatted in the RV until we were too tired and we ended up at state park to camp for the night.
The second day we had french toast for breakfast and took our time to get ready. At 9 in the morning we were hitting the road to drive to Yuma. We hung out in the moring on the drive and ate sandwiches for lunch. The whole afternoon we were in a jet boat tour of The Colorado River and we stopped on the way to hike. We got lost finding the camp but we finilly arrived and had dinner in the RV. We leave early tomorrow so good night!
More to come later...
