"AWESOME" HOLIDAYS.......

Life is turning back to normal after a wonderful holiday in the USA. The trip we made was full of highlights. We started and ended in Las Vegas and inbetween we made a tour to the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park. The nature we saw on this trip was overwhelming, especially coming from a flat, green Holland. Already landing on Las Vegas airport almost at the foot of the Strip is sensational. Then stepping outside into temperatures of 106 o F (about 42 o C), it was like someone was blowing with a hairdryer in our faces.........LOL Must say I love this heath with almost no humidity, didn't have any trouble with my asthma!
In the next week I will show you more pictures of our trip, I will sta
rt with some of Las Vegas, where we have spent the first 2 and last 2 days and yes, we have been to the casino, but only a loss of $ 10..........

You had a great trip Wilma. The gaudy Las Vegas to the serene beauty of the Grand Canyon and Red Rock. Both are also my favorite places. I love the heat of the desert.
