We left Las Vegas and headed south on Monday morning. It was so good to be in sunshine again after all the darkness and cold back home. Just north of Barstow we stopped at a 1950's Diner, Peggy Sue's, which had been advertised several times as we headed south. It didn't look too impressive from the outside, but inside it was very interesting. It had the original diner consisting of three booths and nine bar seats which then opened out to three more rooms which had been added over the years. Peggy Sue was obviously a film fanatic as the place was filled with film memorabilia - signed photos of stars, life size models of Elvis and other stars etc. etc. There was a five and dime shop and an ice cream parlour to one side as well. The shop was full of film knick knacks on sale from The Beatles, Betty Boop, to Disney and Elvis. We spent a very enjoyable time having a drink and their famous curly fries and wandering round the shop. The waitresses were dressed in authentic style 1950 uniforms. Only in America!! We continued our journey and got to San Bernadino to find our rig in excellent condition - all safe and sound. We spent a couple of nights there - sleeping a lot to make up for the jet lag.
