Today we rented a sexy black mazda 3 and headed towards the Grand Canyon, Arizona!  It felt a little weird at first getting into the driving side as the passenger but surprisingly after being in America for a few weeks it felt quite normal to be on the right side of the road.  I think Jason really enjoyed having a chance to drive in America as well.

The Grand Canyon was amazing.  I am not going to say that it wasn't.  However what I really enjoyed was the drive there.  It took about 4.5 hours to get there and 4.5 hours to get home.. but driving through this scenery was breath taking.  Never seen such dessert or colours or TUMBLEWEED blow on the road infront of the car.  Yes.. I was probably more excited by the tumbleweed then the Grand Canyon. haha.. maybe I have been spoilt by all the things that I have now seen.  I forgot to mention that when we leaving Yosemite at 5am to catch the bus to Amtrak we also saw a skunk.  Yes.. very cool.  We also saw Hoover Dam and drove over it to get to Arizona.  Actually saw a documentary by chance the night before on Tv and the making of it was really interesting and I appreciated it more knowing its history.  Tomorrow off to New York.  Election day when we get there which should make it extra special.
