This last weekend I went to the Grand Canyon! It's one on the natural wonders in the world (think there are 7 total) and it's in Arizona so it was on my to-do-list before leaving. Went with Tanya (my area rep), Emilia, Saran and Miranda. Had no school Friday so that gave me a day to pack and do laungery and then we left in the afternoon. We drove to Flagstaff (small town 2.5h north in AZ) and stayed in a hotel for the night. From there it takes only 1 hour to the Grand Canyon and hotels are much cheaper. We had In n' Out for dinner, one of my faves! They should totally open in Sweden (it's a burger place/fastfood)!! :D
Saturday morning we woke up not too late, left the hotel by 9 so that was not too bad :) We drove to the Grand Canyon where we spent the day hiking along the rim. The landscape is all flat until you get to te actual place where all of a sudden there is a huge hole in the ground! Amazing place with gorgeous views. It's so deep (1800m) that there are only a few spots where you can see the Colorado river that is at the bottom.
Stopped at an italian place for dinner in an old western town, Williams. Cool old town, real american style! Then ice cream stop at Cold Stone.
We left Flagstaff Sunday morning, made a quick stop at Oak Creek Canyon (deep Valley with lot's of trees + there was a small market where native americans sold jewlery). Then we stopped in Sedona for lunch and a short hike, such a pretty place! Had a blast, gonna miss all of these people so much...
