we left home around 10:00 or so...give or take. this is on our way outta dodge. verdi [i'm still not entirely sure how to properly pronounce this the nevadan way, - i tend to make it a spanish word, but i hear others pronounce it verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrdie (with er being the way i say um, er...). it's like nevada and scolari's. here those are pronounced nehvaaaaaduh (short a) and scohlarees (again, the short a sound - i tend to make both of those short a sounds more like ah sounds...crazy californian that i am] is, as you can probably tell, very very close to the sierras. on our way home, when we get to lodi, we know we're about 1/2 hour from home (even though it's only 10 miles from sparks - we're 20 minutes away from the freeway).
wow - looking back at that, those are some unbelievably long parenthetical statements...ah well.so - this is early on in our trip. it was a beautiful drive - no snow/ice to worry about this time down the mountain. it took us a little more than 3 hours to get to Lodi.
