After Grand Canyon we drove all the way to Kingman, AZ. On day 4 of the roadtrip the Prius rolled back west via Barstow, Victoville, San Bernardino, and towards the end a slow drive through a gigantic LA with both very poor neighborhoods and very rich ones, plus everything in between. The contrast between all the wilderness/desert and the endless LA city blocks is stark. The day ended with a drive up to Santa Barbara.

Pictures from day 3 of the roadtrip:
Death Valley
I will write more about day 2 of the roadtrip when I have time. For now, only pictures here: http://picasaweb.google.com/anders.e.e.wallin/DeathValley#
Yosemite
Picked up an almost brand new 2010 Prius (only 6000 miles on the odometer) at Hertz today, and headed east towards Yosemite National Park.
421.3 miles at an average speed of 45 mph and consumption of 49.8 mpg.
That's 678 km and 4.72 l/100 km in metric.
San Francisco Coit Tower
Yesterday was rainy, and the forecast for tomorrow is wet too, so when the sun came out today we saw it as an opportunity to go see the Coit Tower.
San Francisco
I'm in San Francisco for the 54th annual meeting of the Biophysical Society.

San Diego Zoo
USS Midway
Two years ago I only had time for this picture, but today I had a chance to properly see the USS Midway (see also here).
It's easy to spend 3-4 hours on the ships various decks listening to the audio-guide. I could have done without the birds hovering over my lunch at the cafe, but otherwise this was an excellent visit!
