Today is the beginning of the Southern California Tour and our last week of touring the US. This week is probably going to be our most hectic tour because of the number of schools we have to visit each day, but with a bit of luck we'll get some good responses from it. This morning we kicked things off with a visit to La Sierra Academy, followed by Los Angeles Academy and then Orangewood Academy in the afternoon. A community fair at Loma Linda Academy finished th...

Saturday morning we headed to Van Nuys for Church. The people there were super friendly and made an effort to welcome us, so they just earned points in my books! In the evening, we headed down to Anaheim, CA for the third round of the AMA Supercross Series. It was held at Angel Stadium - Anaheim's home of baseball. As we'd missed out on getting along to an NFL, NBA, or Baseball game, we figured we better experience at least one sport in America, so this was it! ...

Last night we stayed in Victorville, CA, which is kind of on the southwestern edge of the Mojave Desert. We were looking forward to having a look out at Mojave, but the weather the past couple of days has been absolutely terrible, and far from ideal sight-seeing weather.

Welcome Back! After our month off home in Australia, we're on our way back to the States to finish what we started... So far we've visited 43 States, which leaves only New Mexico (44), Texas (45), Oklahoma (46), and Arkansas (47) left for us to complete our tour. Unfortunately we miss out on Rhode Island, Kentucky (this was a technical blunder as we were less than 20 miles from the border at one stage!), and Alaska, which would've made 50. Nevertheless, this ti...

We were up at 6am 'cause Will had organized for us to go to school with him. The LA County Fair was on and we were summoned to be chaperones for his Grade 7 students at the fair. We had an awesome time at the fair getting a taste of a good 'ol county fair! We learnt how to lasso a steer, make rope, tried cheese fries, and we even got fresh choc milk from a chocolate milk cow. Amazin'. The fair took up the best part of the day, but in the evening we decided we wo...
