Left Memphis on Sunday morning last week to head to Tuscaloosa, AL where my daughter was finishing a cheer camp at the Univ of Alabama (she cheers for Univ of Memphis). From there we took back roads to Montgomery on our way to Ft. Myers, FL where we vacation every July.
Left this morning to go to Miami to visit relatives. We took Hwy 41 through the Everglades. I'll be giving my daughter the tour of Miami for a few days before we head back to Memphis. The top has been down for much of the trip, and the car has been nothing but a joy to drive.

Just to clear this up before my son gets any wild ideas about birthday presents. You gave her a drive in the 599 - she didn't get to keep it?

"Don't bother with the Part Ex. Dad, I'll look after it for you! Oh and by the way can you pay the insurance for me!"

Yeah, she just got to drive the Ferrari, not keep it.
But she did better than one lady who forgot her left from her right and smacked a brand new (still had paper tags on) Lambo into the concrete barricades. Concrete 1, Lambo 0. They had to tow it off the track. The insurance we bought only covered the first $100k of damage, so I hope she has some good supplementals.

As for the Lambo -

I went for a jaunt in my trusty Kia today and visited the grave of Mrs Berrymans mule.

I had planned on going to the centre of the world also but couldn't find it.
Maybe another time.
To add a bit of Jag content I came accross these two sad old girls at the side of the road.

I took Mom for a ride in Jagger through the Saguaro National Park in Tucson, Arizona, on Sunday. It's a beautiful 8 mile drive through rolling foothills of cactus, wildlife, and cool looking rock formations with ancient native American rock drawings. I had put the top up prior to the photo being taken. The temperature was getting to be over 100 F and it was time for some air conditioning. =)

Saturday: up to Foresthill (CA) for my nephew's wedding, then back down the winding 2-laner through old Auburn and to Folsom Lake/Granite Bay. Beautiful, cool night. I'm trying to decide whether to go back to Las Vegas via Death Valley (at night) or over to Monterey and down Hiway 1, then back across the desert. Done both before, but need new tires if I want to have real fun.

The wine list was ridiculous.
I don't mind a x3 or even x5 markup on Carrefour price but this was x10
Many years ago we learnt to take a bottle of Champagne, cool blocks and glasses and prime the pumps before hitting the Restaurant.
This said we passed a pleasant evening in the slightly faded Art Deco hotel at Evaux-les-Bains a couple of weeks ago

- not only was the restaurant superb, food and service excellent but the most expensive wine on the list was €17 !!
Slept well.....
