May 18, 2008 Dansk tekst til venstre English text on the right Dagens baghave: Backyard of the Day: Old Highway 1, Pacific Coast, Sonoma and Mendocino Counties, California Old Highway 1 tightly hugs the Pacific Coast through Sonoma and Mendocino Counties, California.   Til morgen gik turen nordpå langs kysten igen, stadig med den samme dis, som vi fik set så meget til i går, og som siges at være meget karakteristisk for området. Noget af det første vi så, da vi kørte fra campingpladsen, var en bjergløve, der stod midt på vejen, men inden jeg kunne få fat i fotografiapparatet, var den allerede væk i tre store krumspring. This morning we headed north along the coast again, still in the same mist we saw so much of yesterday, and which is said to be typical. One of the first things we saw after leaving the campground was a mountain lion, which was standing in the middle of the road, but before I could grab the camera it had already taken off in three great big leaps.

Pelikan ~ Pelican

Adskillige gange kom der køer gående løse lige ned langs hovedvejen. Several times cows came wandering freely right along the highway.         Og vi så rådyr ~ And we saw deer         Nu er der beklageligvis ikke helt absolut enevælde i Lisbeth-land, for så ville vi standse ved hver eneste gamle kirkegård, vi kom forbi. Men den her fik jeg da heldigvis lov at se på. Now, regrettably, Lisbeth-land is not an absolute monarchy, because then we would stop at every single old cemetery on our way. But lucky for me, I did get to stop at this one.

På stenen står der bare "Baby" ~ The stone reads only "Infant"   "Mark... Døde 23. Feb. 1884, alder 4 år... Hans sidste ord... Han pegede med fingeren og sagde, se, se mama, der kommer de!" "Mark... Died Feb. 23, 1884, aged 4 yrs... His last words... He would point with his finger and say see, see mama, they are coming!"         Vi vil mødes igen ~ We shall meet again
