Blog entry Wk 15.

Traveling has always been an interest of mine.  In my childhood I would travel to Mexico with my parents once a year. I would be so excited when traveling by plane because I got peanuts and soda: silly things  like that. But nothing compares to traveling by car. Weather it is  an exotic journey to a European country or just within the state. One of the best times I have had recently was going on a road trip to visit Salvation Mountain near the Salton Sea. Salvation Mountain is an art installation piece  that a man named Leonard Knight created and is currently still working on; it is a mix between land and various shades of paints. With this creative piece of art Leonard would like to send a message that : “God Is Love.” I am not a religious person and I am nearly spiritual, but when I came up this man-made land and art mix; I got a tear in my eye. The drive there was very long and somewhat stuffy, but we made it there safe and sound. On a hot Saturday afternoon we stepped out of the car onto the dirt pits of what some of the locals would call, Slab City and joined the many other people that where there visiting that day as well. I was very fortunate and had the chance to meat Leonard himself. He is a very thin man with sunburned skin and he just warms your heart with all his positive energy. This is a trip I will never forget.
