Florida fires in the swamp areas were evident from the road side as we traveled north from Miami - the smoke was thick and made it difficult to breathe comfortably in the car since we had to turn off the vent system to avoid intake of smoke. We were glad to get north to our destination that night, but found smoke and fire in Georgia too when we arrived there a couple of days later.

Street scenes in Annaheim, California. The palm trees were so nice to see every day for us mid westerners - site for sore eyes - lovely welcome!
