Hi:

It's six weeks since we last wrote ... We have several great excuses, not least some technical hitches which are now behind us, but primarily we have been having too good a time to sit still to update the web site and write ... Sorry. The web-site is now beautiful. Fully reworked, with a new home page, which is more informative and easier to use. Also, you can now click on links directly from this e-mail to see things (like this picture of Jon's moustache).

When we wrote on April 4th, we had done 1,716 miles through 6 states and been on the road for 5 weeks. Now we have:

	Driven 5,963 miles
	Visited 18 states
	Enjoyed 10 weeks on the road

The web-site is nearly up-to date. We have spent the last 2-weeks with Jon and Rhoanna's parents who flew out to join the Arizona, Utah, Nevada legs. We have:

	Flown in helicopters over the Grand Canyon
	Ridden horses to a nighttime cowboy bonfire
	Spent four wonderful days in a house boat on Lake Powell for Jon and Rhoanna's 10th anniversary
	Hiked through Monument valley, Bryce Canyon and Zion Canyon
	Taken a Quad motorbike trek
	and seen the sights of Las Vegas

Thankfully, they left today ... I don't think we could keep up with them for much longer! Having said all of that, none of this is on the web-site yet, we are working on it now. In the mean time, please enjoy the words and pictures from the 8 new States, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and New Mexico. The list of things we have done is amazing; please spend a few minutes poking around. Some highlights for us are:

	NASA's Research and Development facility was in Alabama
	Ivy Green (Birthplace of Helen Keller), Tuscumbia, Alabama
	Home of "The King" - Graceland, Memphis - read Jon's Story
	Gidon's Birthday (we could have added Jon's birthday ... but no one remembered!)
	Disaster in Texas and the resulting 'holiday' on Galveston Island
	'The Land of Fire and Ice', El Malpais National Monument, New Mexico

But there is so much more.

To celebrate the new site, and influenced by our stay in Las Vegas ... YOU CAN WIN $1-MILLION, PLEASE SEE THE HOME PAGE (but make sure you read all the rules carefully).

Please keep in touch.

All our love ...

The Traveling Sumroys
