Death Valley and Los Algodones, Mexico

Death Valley was awesome! It was a trip Tom and I have talked about and finally just said “let’s just go!” Wow! He was a braver soul than I and he did a bit of hiking. I could barely move in the heat. In the photo with people, we are at the lowest point, about 283 ft below sea level. For a guy who spends a lot of time on the sea, Tom was quite amazed. You can’t see it in the photo, but there is a green street sign about halfway up the hillside that says “Sea Level”. We were quite impressed.

Here I am at TLC Dental in Los Algodones, Mexico, where I walked across the border and stayed for 2 nights in the attached B&B style home. It was secure, clean, and completely professional and I am thrilled to be healthy and whole again! The temperature in mid November was mid 80’s and I was totally miserable from both the heat and air conditioning and the hurried nature of the trip. I’d love to go back and spend weeks when the temperatures drop to 70’s or so 🙂
