"It looks exactly like a Google earth", said today a five years old kid to his father, when we were enjoying one of the amazing views if Yosemite valley. Oh well, this is one way how one can enjoy the wonders of nature.
It is our last day on the West coast and after three weeks of national parks marathon we are flying from San Francisco to the Big Apple and we will start our race across the East coast and east of Canada.
But where have we left you last time? After the Grand canyon we saw Red Rocks Canyon, Bryce, Canyon Lands, Monument Valley, Dead Horse Point, Arches, Death Valley, Yosemite NP... I don't think that there are many national parks left which we haven't seen.
Every single of them was special and amazing, with great views, fantastic colours and rock formations... We would show you some photos which we took plenty. You will definitely get bored with all our artistic photos, but the views were just so amazing and we couldn't believe our eyes. Unfortunately we still didn't have the chance of uploading them to the photo gallery. It is like the lady at the petrol station in Death Valley said: How could you expect to have here phone signal or wireless connection, we are in the middle of nowhere:) Her statement was proved directly ten minutes after as we hit the ghost town in the desert, with white zebra lizards, rattelsnakes, lots of sand, abandoned cowboy deserts and crumbling buildongs, all under approximately 46 degrees (celsius, not fahrenheit)!
Nevada, Utah ( with its fire problems), Arizona and we are back to colder California trying to spot some black bears in Yosemite. The only animals we have seen though are tourists, and we have seen plenty as there 3,5 million visitors every year visiting thiscrown jewel of US.
So enough of the beautiful nature and breathtaking views - we need civilisation and some fresh air... Maybe we will get plenty by the Lake Poconos, where we start our second part of US trip and where we will meet yet again with good friends, this time the Fidler's family (and the little sweet Madelyn!)

Wonderful! I am also just returned from my (much less dearing) trip to Germany, it was really nice!
Travelling is just to good, and addictive! one returns just thinking fo leaving again!
And one feels wealthier after one trip! If I feel this just after one day, I just cannot imagine how wealthier you must feel by now!
You are travelers!
Just keep us posted on the East Cost as well! enjoy the big Apple!
Ciao! João
