A-traveling we will go, a-traveling we will go...

So, I have discovered that I am the WORST blogger ever.
I'm sorry to all the readers who have been so patiently waiting!
I have a lot to catch you up on.

Durango~
The cutest little town in Colorado. Very quiet, yet at the same time very populated. The stay there was quite short, without a host family day. But our evenings were greatly enjoyed in the comfort of our house in the mountains. One big event: I had an allergic reaction to some homemade yogurt pretzels. My allergic reactionngs consist of my lips swelling up and turning even MORE red than they already are, the roof of my mouth blistering, and my tounge turns, itchy. Keep in mind these reactions are quite uncommon. But nonetheless, I had one. So, graciously, the staff came to my rescue with some Benedryl. To find out later that it wasn't non-drousy...on a show night. I don't remember much of that show other than people were given strict orders to NOT let me sit down. I was falling asleep standing up! I provided great entertainment for much of the cast that night. :) Two shows in 6 days, along with aiding at a Soup Kitchen, and off we went on the road again...dooooown to Arizona.

Prescott/Chino Valley~
We stopped by the Grand Canyon!!!!! It was beautiful! One giant hole in the ground. :) It poured while we were there, but it was soooo amazing! Then we hopped back on the bus for a few more hours and landed in hot hot hot Prescott. LizZ and Keira's moms came to see them and see the show, so I was able to stay with them in a hotel over this stay. And we finally got another host family day! We took a little trip to Jerome and Sedona, which are up in the cliffs of Arizona. Breathtaking. They litterally built Jerome into the side of a cliff! The show in Prescott went well, especially for being in a high school gymnasium. :) We packed it up, and hit the road again!

Lake Havasu~
BEAUTIFUL! Lake Havasu is a resort/retirement town. And it's gorgeous. Although there is no grass, and temps reach up to 111 degrees, the atmosphere here is so relaxing! Yesterday we had a Culture Fair. 500 kids filled a gym as they went from booth to booth learning and having fun! I was stationed at the face painting booth! Wow. It was crazy! Tonight is the first of two shows! Wish me luck.
I promise I will write again soon!

Down to Mexico we go!!!!! :D
Loves!
