In Dalhart, Texas

After three days in Topeka we are on the road again. Saturday we picked up Laura's sister Susan in Wichita and started driving to San Diego, California for Jim's granddaughter's high school graduation. After the graduation we will go visit our kids in Las Vegas, Salt lake City, and Denver. Then we return to Topeka for a while. Jim is already missing SE Asia. Since we've been home Jim has had trouble adjusting to the American diet. He has had more stomach and bowel problems since we've been home than he had on the whole trip. Dalhart, Texas, is a small town in the Texas panhandle. When you step outside the car or the hotel room you smell the feed lots. Not as bad as the one time we drove through Hereford, Texas, but similar. One nice touch is that at the Days Inn where we spent the night the waffle maker made waffles in the shape of Texas.
