2008 Spring/Summer Tour - Day 25

We went to a few different church buildings this morning until we found one where the meetings hadn't started yet. The first couple of places had small parking areas that were already full. We ended up at a place in Hollywood and two of the people Roseann talked with were from the Tri-Cities, and one was a guy she knew from high school. Small world and all that... Only Roseann and the girls went in, actually. I was still pretty sick and took the "day of rest" literally and got a good nap. I did go in briefly afterwards to get a blessing.

We drove back to the KOA and I was feeling a lot better, though still far from feeling "great", and we all went swimming. Roseann and the girls started off in the spa but I braved the regular pool, which wasn't too bad once I jumped in and swam around for a while. We're hoping that the girls can learn how to swim this year, and so we'll be working with them on that when we have good opportunities.

One of the great things about all of the places we travel is that we get to meet a lot of different people. Across the street from the KOA is a big racetrack, and we've heard the buzzing bee sounds of the cars racing there the past few days. Tonight at the pool we met a family who works as a pit crew for one of the racers. We had to explain to Becca that they were like Luigi and his team working for Lightning McQueen at the end of Cars... She thought that was pretty neat, especially when the guy gave her his official race team wristband.

After swimming, we came back to the bus and had some dinner and went to bed. Tomorrow we'll be headed to Las Vegas. It was really great to be here in the L.A. area this past week or so, and we look forward to coming back again next year or maybe even later this year.
