About the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas. Monday we explored the Grand Canyon (or just that part of the Grand Canyon that you can explore in one day!). So we woke up at six. Took a small, easy going breakfast. Made lunch. And went to the Grand Canyon. Again the sunrise wasn't that super but around eleven the clouds disappeared. We were dropped of at the Bridge Angel Lodge. From there I went with Steffen and Jessica to Verkamp's Visitor Center. We walked along the ...

On the road again. Well sometimes bad things are not that bad. We could leave Van Horn around ten in the morning and besides that our new van is pretty bigger then the other van. Okay you still get squished on the back seat, I really don't understand why they put fourteen people on the tour in stead of thirteen! Just joking, but it is good that we have many small (Korean) girls in the group. So we had a pretty long drive to Tombstone and when we arrived we pitch...

Still in Texas. Surprise! Here is a short blog to keep you up to date. At this moment we are on a pretty luxurious campsite in Van Horn, Texas. Why? Because our van decides to break down. Great! Not!

We drove to the north of Big Bend National Park and pitched up the tents. We had a nice spot and...

Steffen and Jessica (the Germans) and I walked up to the dike and had a great view over the Mississippi. The firework looked really good. Impressed by the firewor...

Happy new year! Happy new year from out New Orleans or 'Nawleans' as they pronounce it here. Last days we've been driving a lot. The day that we left Washington we first visited the Arlington National cemetery (there are the tomb of the unknown soldier and J.F. Kennedy graveside). So we saw the guards changing at the tomb of the unknown soldier, that was pretty particular. Just in short, 24 hours per day, 7 hours per week there are guards walking in front of the...
