Petra visits the USA
|
|
In April 1972, Michael's sister, Petra, flew over with me for a short visit to California. This was Petra's first trip over the ocean and it was fun showing her around.

At Borrego we stayed at the Palm Canyon camp ground. This place turned into one of my favorite places in years to come and I tried to visit there whenever I could. My son, Carsten, also loves this place.
There's a path you take from the camp ground to a narrow canyon which has a small river and palm trees growing at it's banks, thus the name. |

Of course, no trip to California would be complete without a visit to Disneyland, another of my all time favorite places. |

| Back in San Diego, we visited the Wild Animal Park, which at this time was fairly new. And of course Sea World was on our schedule. | |
