Ridin' the highway

I have not arrived to the Grand Canyon yet, but according to my father we are about 100 miles away so in a little over an hour we’ll be getting there (for those of you that are into that stuff you should be able to calculate roughly how fast my father drives -.-“)

So, woke up at 10 to 5 am cause supposedly we were going to leave the hotel at 6 but obviously no one wanted to go so I got stuck with my tendency to not fall asleep once I’ve already woken in the morning. So I went downstairs, checked my e-mail, did some homework (unbelievably) and posted here…we ended up leaving the hotel at 10 past 8 after having eaten one heck of a breakfast…for those of you who get queasy rapidly I recommend skipping the following list of what I ate;

• 1 blueberry muffin
• 3 strips of bacon (LOVE BACON.)
• 2 servings of scrambled eggs
• 2 triangles of French toast with syrup
• 2 bowls of strawberries (they were DELICIOUS.)
• 1 glass of orange juice
• 1 glass of chocolate milk (like, totally fat free with low carbs)
• 1 portion of loneliess ):

I forgot to mention, when dad came down at about half past 7, he asked me to research some things about Arizona and the route we were taking and while I was doing that they started breakfast, so I said “I’ll go leave the laptop upstairs and come have breakfast with you guys” and my mother told me to put absolutely everything away and be ready to leave. 

When I came down about 10 minutes later (I hadn’t unpacked very much at all) they had finished and as I sat down they went upstairs to bring down their stuff, although my little sister got herself some more French toast to accompany me a little while, so I had the rest of breakfast all on my lonesome ):

Sob story aside, we really started our drive upstate. I’m not going to write on and on about the spectacular sights we saw, I’m just going to say that I recommend it. Desert, mountains, sliffs, lakes, Roosevelt Dam (where apparently a lot of movie scenes are filmed), Volcanic craters and landscapes, forests, highways that seem to stretch on forever…it’s unbelievable. That being said, if your air-conditioner is shot you’re screwed. 

It is H O T out here!

It’s actually kinda starting to rain but it’s not…it’s weird, like there are loads of clouds but only a mist falls cause it dries so quickly but now it’s a lot cooler and it’s really lovely.

Worth mentioning; we went down this little road to see the Sunset Volcanic Crater and when we rolled the windows down there was this delicious smell of sweet resin almost syrup-like (Rolled down the windows? It implies that we manually rolled them down, though we just pressed a button that brings them down for us…how d’you say that? Lowered the windows? But WE didn’t technically lower them ourselves D: so confusing u.u)

Oh FYI I’m still dressed “All-American” as my sisters are calling it…I've added a necklace with 2 silver feathers (I really like it) I’ll get a picture up on facebook soon.

So that’s all for now, folks! An all-american see ya from me ;)
