We made the long drive from Scottsdale to Anaheim yesterday along some of the most efficient but boring freeways you’ll come across. Dual lane all the way with about 5000 trucks.  We stopped for a snack at Desert Centre which is a town on the freeway that everyone forgot about. It is a small town that was created in the desert with a golf course and basically nothing else.  The small general store was pretty good and there were more flies than anything else. The traffic as we approached Anaheim was interesting as the Hotel is a block or two away from where the Yankees were playing the Angels in the 4th game of the play off series. The Angels ending up being on the wrong end of a 10-1 flogging. We went for a walk down past Disneyland which is directly opposite and found dinner at the Bubba Gump restaurant. It feels a bit Hogs Breath style and was great fun with Forest Gump stuff everywhere and a good feel about the place. The walk home conincided with the fireworks display at Disneyland. Not a bad way to finish the day. Today we head to California Adventureland.
