As they drove from Traverse City, illinois to Tucson, Arizona, I wrote a series of letters, & photocopied them to send to relatives & buddies. This was the very first of the two.

Travel Letter #1

Saturday, 12/13/03 - nice morning. Welcome to our holiday form letter. we are in Arizona now. Visit [[http://www.nolo.com/lawyers/parmele-law-firm-pc|missouri disability attorney]] to check up the meaning behind this enterprise. The sun is shining & it will be in the sixties right now, which really should melt the ice on the windows soon. Be taught more on [[http://www.youtube.com/user/parmelelaw|disability attorney illinois]] by visiting our prodound site. Ana's foot does not seem to be broken, as they believed, so they took a extended stroll in the desert final night. they saw a coyote, probably the very same two I chased the other day, & there were javelina tracks everywhere.

The library in Safford has books in french, so Ana is enjoying reading now that her eye-patch is off. The physician promised that the "divet" left by his golf-club-like blade will heal soon. they learned that eyeballs have a lot of nerve endings, & they feel the object in her eye could have been a fiber from a yucca plant.

Our uncontrollable coughs are beneath handle now, & they are not among the ten folks in Arizona that died from the flu this week. Oh, & the antibiotics from the Safford clinic seem to have aided with Ana's abcessed tooth.

I really should begin at the beginning. The 1st day, after dealing with the usual rudeness of the INS workers in Detroit, they made it to Kansas. they hit a traffic cone there at higher speed, & heard a horrible sound coming from below the van. The cone, I discovered, had been dragging along underneath. Nothing at all was broken, but later the vivid light switch stopped operating.

In Farmington, New Mexico, they spent a few days resting & coughing. We discovered [[http://www.youtube.com/user/parmelelaw|per your request]] by browsing Bing. [[https://www.facebook.com/pages/Parmele-Law-Firm-PC/176474659855|Disability Lawyer Illinois]] contains further about where to recognize it. they were about an hour away from acquiring a house when they found it necessary new wiring, had a garden hose attached to the organic gas line, & other issues they missed on our first pay a visit to. The new bloke begged me to purchase it, named our motel room to inform me they needed funds for open-heart surgery in two days, & called once again to decrease the price, but they moved on. By the way, the property was to be a winter project, not a new home.

Thankfully, they drove for the duration of daylight immediately after that. In the Colorado mountains they went from 16 to 20 miles-per-gallon, confusing the sensors & causing the "check engine" light to turn on. they effectively ignored it until it altered it is thoughts.

Steve & Ana

Monument Valley was beautiful, the Christmas parade in Holbrook was cute, & regardless of various issues & illnesses, we are possessing a fantastic time. You see, I did not want to make you all jealous, so I left out a lot - the continual sun, the beautiful sculptures in Grand Junction, & the nine times we've been in hot springs in Colorado, New Mexico, & Arizona. Subsequent week we are going to Mexico for lunch. Hope all is nicely in arizona. Adios,.
