To travel on good country roads is a pleasure. We try not to use freeways. The almost empty landsscapes. Once in a while humans dig for valuables in the earth. We head for a camp ground near St George where we were before. And St George is a very nice town with fantastic bike trails.

We liked to stay with Michelle in Park City so much that we did not want to leave. If this goes on very much longer we will never make it to New York. We better get going. And so we did. The very next morning.

We got up after a couple of hours sleep were in Frankfurt very early. In fact we wre the first customers of the day and so the people at the Lufthansa counter had a lot of time. They looked at Harpo and told us that the dog was probably just a little too tall for the kennel we had.
Last Year’s Tour Revisited
This year the plan was to take a tour of southern Europe. France, Italy, Greece, Croatia, and then some. Then the Chinese invented the corona virus in one of their wet markets and now we are stuck in our little village in France. Here they have a strict curfew. We are allowed to go to the doctor, to the pharmacy and to a supermarket. Else we are to stay at home. We can leave for one hour a day but not walk more than 1km away from the house. We save on gas and restaurants on the upside.
So it’s a good time to look at the pictures of our trip last year. The second half took us from Park City to the border in Mexicali, CA, up the coast to Washington, to Yellowstone, Iowa, St. Louis, Chicago to New York.
