USA Trip

Last month I spent 2 weeks in the USA – San Diego, Phoenix, Denver, Portland and San Jose (for Worldcon).

It was my first visit to San Diego and Portland, both of which are cities I really liked. As well as visiting friends, I tried out an animal shelter rescue program which lets you walk rescue dogs along the beach to give them some exercise. The doggies were very excited about their walk.

San Diego Zoo is one of the best in the world and I checked out the pandas.

The Museum in Denver had a special exhibition on the Dead Sea Scrolls as well as wolf sculptures that may have been hot.

In Portland I visited Powell’s, which is one of the world’s greatest independent bookshops.
