Many of the stones are small, but a few of them are very big. The biggest stone weighs about 350 kg. The stones only move at night. Nobody has ever seen them moving, but now scientists know why the stones can move. The answer is the wind. When the wind comes from the west, the stones move to the east. When the wind is from the south, they always move to the north. But how can the wind move a very heavy stone? Death Valley is one of the hottest places in the world, but it can be very cold at night. Sometimes, there are even storms at night. Rain falls, and the wind is strong and cold. The water on the ground turns into ice easily. Then the strong wind can move the stones along the flat (平的) ground. In the morning, the sun comes up and dries the ground. So people can find them move from one place to another in the daytime. 24.

Edward, who had just come out of hospital, could not walk as far as he used to. However, this meant that we walked in the mornings, and then stopped at a cafe for lunch each day, before returning to the place we live. Edward and I slept in front of the fire all afternoon, while the ladies went for another walk. Very pleasant! I have taken lots of photos from the place we live, across the valley (峡谷) below us, of the morning sunrise, and the mist (雾) in the valley. Also, in England, the old steam powered trains (蒸汽火车) are very popular. I have taken many photos of the train and from it. Yesterday we had the first snow of this winter. It is very early (we usually expect snow in January). It rained all day, and then snowed in the evening. Today we have bright sunshine! Both Jenny and I are well. I don’t know if I have told you in the last e-mail that Jenny is now working in a hotel. Although she has to work hard, people there are nice and she is enjoying the work.
