The Grand Canyon... no matter how many pictures you have seen it’s still very impressive. And you can’t physically stop yourself from taking pictures of it.. ohhh there’s a rock ohhh and a stick and ohhh the canyon and ohhh look a cactus ohhh another rock... you get the idea. This one is up there with the great wall in the list of overly touristy things that are worth doing. Sunset at the canyon is definitely recommended.
Driving across America, and particularly Arizona, we saw a little of small town USA, complete with dodgy motels/dines. They are an experience in themselves.
As we moved south the Cacti became more plentiful and bigger. Once we arrived at the little cabin of Jim and Chris, my sister’s godfather, we were greeted by a sumptuous feast of rear Mexican food. Followed by fireside stories and smores. What the hell is a smore? Is it an endangered spices? and should you be eating them? Says any non-American. Americans will tell you Yum, No, Yes and also explain that it is a ‘gram crakker’ (no relation to the weight of 1g) chocolate and a marshmallow. The concoction is toasted so that the marshmallow is gooie and melts the chocolate... not bad. Even better when enjoyed in this picturesque setting with good company.
