After we left Mt. Livermore we all got very tired very quickly. Even though we were going downhill, we all had very sore feet and legs. When we got home, we ordered pizza. I self-medicated with two glasses of wine, two advil, a hot bath, and going to bed at 9:30. Whew! What a day! But what great memories.
Next time we go (if there is a next time) I want to go to the Immigration Station. The brochure says that Chinese immigrants were held there by the thousands. They were kept there for up to six months, while wealthy Europeans were admitted right away into the US. Isn't it lucky that Chinese were later seen for what they were: good railroad laborers. (Sarcasm here, in case your sarcasm meter is off.) Ah, the home of the free, that's what we are.
