This is taken from (phil) email for the 2nd leg of our journey, after Moab, on our trek.
I believe the last time I wrote was in Moab, and I believe I didn't actually write much. Day to day we've been going through all sorts of crazed stuff, every place is entirely different; our first night in Vegas we had a stretched hummer tour, which was lovely (we managed to assimilate a group of girls into our group and we did the hummer tour together, so it was a party en masse through Vegas), whilst the night before we had been camping out in a nowhere town populated by elk, near the Grand Canyon.
So, since Moab we've seen lands of cowboys, with Monument Valley and some strange cowboy camp where we threw a fancy dress party (Ben managed to look like a transvestite witch doctor, thus was his indian attempt). We stayed at a place called Mitten View at monument valley, slept under the stars and woke to see the sun rise behind the Mesas. We also got a tour from this Native who showed us around the Indian Reservation, that was intriguing indeed. Then of course, the Grand Canyon...I don't know, I thought it'd be more yellow. It was pretty big I guess.
Las Vegas quickly took the lead as the ultimate place we've visited. We got a brilliant buffet, had the hummer tour, got comp tickets to a swanky club (more beautiful people than you'll ever see, there, and guys so muscled that you'd think they're that Thing guy from the fantastic 4), and generally pondered about all these excessive casinos.
Then, Tijuana! Ne'er a more decadent place have I seen, with a guy constantly offering us a 'donkey show' (?!) and another chasing us down the road bearing himself in a way that would make well bred ladies blush. He justified himself somehow in Spanish, but we'll never know what he was saying.
We went to a bunch of bars in San Diego, which was delightful, and sung a bit of karoake in one. Also we encountered a madman from Boston who wanted to fight people for saying the Red Sox sucked, which no one actually said.
This isn't as long an entry as it should be, but I'll try again another time. I should add details of earlier in the trip, but there's too much to tell and it just keeps going...
Sad to see some of our trek leave, said goodbye to Jo and irish phil earlier, onto the next leg of our journey in new zealand in a few days on our own again.
Phil!
