The story

(As part of the California trip.) After a few days in California we decided to take a big excursion, and so through the hotel we met Rich, who took us around Arizona. Setting off very early from Los Angeles, we crossed the desert between California and Arizona. A breathtaking scene both going and coming back! In all we covered 1400 km!!! But they were pleasant! The landscape changed from one moment to the next, until the surprise: there are people who have built a sort of happy island inside the desert, far from everyone. Wow! Arriving at the Grand Canyon we were left open-mouthed; it seemed endless! So deep that you can barely see the Colorado river. Of course I must go back to do every possible and imaginable excursion, but for now this is fine. Rich, or rather the agency he works for, charged 750 $, which divided by 3 isn't much considering the many km covered. Hi everyone!
