QUOTE (Stu @ Dec 16 2010, 06:17 PM)  Some personal thoughts on our arrival at Santa Maria... http://roadtoendeavour.wordpress.com/2010/...-at-santa-maria I know perfectly what you mean by the ecstatic feeling of being there in person and able to see something you've been hearing about and watching on tv for most of your lifve and then getting to be there for real.It happened to me on my first visit to London in 2000;blackpool tower i've seen as well and been to golden gate bridge in san fransisco last summer and just missed out on yosemite as we didnt have enough time..but thats a good reason for me to come back to california!!! |
