Another American road trip

We arrived to LAX last Friday and spent the weekend in Irvine with Philip, Amber and Delphine (thanks again, Perea's!). We just relaxed, had a great time together, played some board games and watched Curiosity landing to Mars. It was fun watching it with two physicists.

On Monday we drove to Las Vegas, we were staying at MGM Grand this time. We did basic Vegas things: ate too much in the buffet, gambling and went to see a show which this time was a Penn and Tellers Magic Show (crazy stuff there....). Vegas was as amazing as it is always.

After Vegas we drove to Arizona to see Antelope canyons. Well it wasn't so easy. We drove whole day to small city called Page and found out that all 18 motels were booked or overpriced or had only smoking rooms left. And of course the access to the canyons was closed already. So we decided to continue driving to Flagstaff. Fortunately we saw a sunset in Horse Shoe Bend which was a spectacular place.

Today we saw a beautiful mountain views all day long. We went walking to the Red Rock national park and went to see Cathedral Rock. It was very hot, today 115 Fahrenheit, 46 degrees in celsius...
At the moment we are near downtown Phoenix. We will go back to Irvine on Sunday.
