This is me in my new kepi. It's the kind of hat that was popular during the civil war. Im directing canon fire on those godless yankee bastards
this was in richmond viginia. Tonamu was so excited he ran a red light in front of a cop to turn around and get a photo. totally worth it
We've been to some more cool places. We drove the tina turner highway to get to nutbush here. Tonamu got a hat from goobertown. The fantastic woman in the photograph worked at the grocery store, in front is her grandson caleb

Wow. Arrrrkansas rules. We saw these three righteous places- all in one day. First Prattsville, then Bald Knob, then Weiner. Ace
This additional chap is Drew. He introduced us to Jenna outside the pub. He is tops. This is them saying goodbye. They werent really as delighted as the picture suggests. I managed to lose our only car key the night before (plonker) and having paid US$65 for a replacement we were off. These are our 3 favourite Texans- after the family of hill-billies we met while swimming at the lake. They are my favourite people ever.
Then we went to Nacodoches, East Texas. We meet these two fantastic girls- Jenna and Valerie and they let us stay at their place for two nights. They like drinking and partying too. The other guy is their cowboy landlord Earl. He was real sweet.
We visit Palestine and see Gay Ave. Could this be the best day of our trip yet?
We head east from a town called Alpine. We realise we could make San Antonio by the evening and see one of our favourite singers Ozzy Osbourne perform at Ozzfest. We arrive there after about six hours driving and pay US$35 to get in. We suffer through Disturbed and an especially poor performance by System of a Down to see the stage being packed up and to be told that Ozzy played much earlier in the day. San Antonio is gay
Then we went to Texas and immediately visited the towns of Kermit and Wink. But for their names, these towns were shitholes
We visited the Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. This is pretty sweet and there were heaps of formations that were shaped like doodles.
This is Roy departing Las Vegas airport. Good bye Roy.
Having trimmed the fat Tonamu and I are more dynamic than ever. We go East and Roy is quickly forgotten.
Then Roy and I wound up the night by singing the Spice Girls hit- 2 becomes 1 at an outdoor Karaoke bar. We recieved applause.
This was our theme song for the trip while Roy was here. Now he's gone and there is just two of us it's become a bit gay. So we have changed it to In His Kiss from Cher.

Then we stood at the entrance to a Pearl Jam concert and we were all offered free tickets. Awesome
Then we went to Hooters for tea.
There's a call- it's from Saved by the Bell. They want their haircut back.
They cant have it. Our awesome waitress Jaclyn has it now
Our first day in Vegas sucked. The second was much better. It started here by lake mead. Isn't the sea princess beautiful?
Then we hiked 10 miles back to the car, up the canyon this time
The waterfalls were real pretty, we went for a swim. We're not gay- really.
We decided to go on a 10 mile hike to see some waterfalls. We're ready to go
On the way we saw dinosaur footprints and turds and claws. Roy is standing in a T-Rex footprint. That is my finger. The guide said we could pay him with money or drugs. Drugs arent cool- hugs not drugs
We met these girls there and gave them a lift to flagstaff. They were lovely and had hairy legs. The one in the middle had a dodo tattooed on her arm
This is the Navajo National Monument. These cliff dwelling were lived in between 1250 and 1380CE. Cool, and we were allowed to wander about
This is Amy. She is our new favourite person. She hosted us in Flagstaff. Her boyfriend, who was out of town, knows someone who knows Tinamu. These are their dogs Biscuit and 6-pack. Cool eyes
This couple walked out in front of the car as we crawled through busy traffic. Dig this- we were in Arizona. There are no beaches or anything close nearby. Lucky girl
We had quite an adventure getting a picture of this number plate in Phenoix (gun murder capital of America). He speed past a negligent cop, then turned off the main road at great speed. We dilligently pursued him and were rewarded with this photo, once he stopped at a YMCA. Ace
Zach shows me some tricks with balloons. I make a dog and call him whiskers
The temperature her is so high the water we have in containers in the van is hot enough to make tea with. Tonamu and I drinking tea in Yuma
This is a hole that was in the footpath at Rosarito. Tonamu almost walked into it while taking a photo
These are fried pig rinds. Yum- taste as good as they look, probably.
