Travelers...



Over all, while working Mono Lake, I've met more folks travelling from 
Germany than anywhere else...
Of course, I had to tell them that my mom's parents immigrated
from Switzerland in the early 1900's...
I'm not sure that they were all that impressed, but it did spark some
conversation!!!

  1. Wonder why the predominance of German visitors. Any theories?

  3. Not really Jean...the Netherlands tourist told me that where he is staying, they've had a preponderance of tourists from the Netherlands...
    I have to admit, there also have been quite a number of Asian tourists, but they tend to not engage in conversation whether from language barrier or not, I'm not quite sure....

    Thank you LadyFi!! That's one of the reasons I took this one! After my workshop last weekend, I've been paying more attention to light!!!

  4. Very interesting. As you know, we spend quite a bit of time roaming around in the desert. During the hot summers, most of the "tourists" we run into are German. The guy who runs the restaurant in Borrego Springs (mentioned my last post) said if it wasn't for the Germans, they'd have very little business during the hot season.
