Bryce Canyon and more, Utah.
After Zion, we went to Bryce Canyon. I don’t exactly remember the name of the village, but it was something with Bryce blabla too. We only stayed there for a day. The day we arrived, we did a drive along a couple of viewpoints along the canyon(s?). The canyons are really beautiful, I’ll post some pics later, I can’t really describe it otherwise. The next day, we packed up, and...
Zion National Park/Springdale, Utah
I’m really going wild on the titles, aren’t I? I’m kind of catching up on ages of not writing anything, so I’m not proofreading anything or taking time to come up with witty titles….so forgive me if I made any typos or errors of other sorts (minus the gaps in my vocabulary, haha), and sorry for the boring titles. And sorry for the censoredness of it all, somehow I...
Las Vegas, Nevada.
Las Vegas. The key word of our three (?) days there is hot. The temperatures were really effing high. When you were outside, it felt like you continuously had a hair dryer in your face, the only difference being that the wind was not really that apparent. I’ve never experienced temperatures that high before in my life, apart from perhaps in steam cabin thingies.
We left for Las Vegas on...
License Plate Game!
I don’t know the exact count, but I think I’m on 43 states now. Or 44. :D
Sorry for the lack of posts, I’ll really try to do some stuff tomorrow……time (and distraction, mostly in the form of GDC. (A)) is preventing me from writing my stories.)
Los Angeles and Universal Studios
LA. We arrived, we walked on the Walk of Fame, I did some whining because I wanted to go to the Hard Rock Cafe, we had dinner in Mels Drive In (they had juke boxes. Awesome! :D). I’m still confused on why there isn’t an apostrophe. After that, we did a little more Walk of Fame and went to the Chinese Theater, where the concrete hand- and footprints of a bunch of movie stars are. There...
Sequoia Park
Today, we went to Sequoia Park. The day started out with breakfast in the hotel at the border of the park. Breakfast was nice (they had waffles :happy:), after that we got in the car and drove. The park was beautiful (just like a lot of all the other scenic drives are, haha). Sequoias, as in, the trees, are huuuuuge. Especially in the beginning, when it’s just a bunch of normal trees of...
Dry Ice
I don’t even know what dry ice is exactly, but the word ice definitely sounds appealing. It’s hot as hell here, I don’t know exactly but around 100F at least. Thank god for airco. But still.
We arrived here around a half hour, one hour-ish ago. We’re about at the border of Sequoia (sp?) Park now. Tomorrow we’re going to do this drive and hike something, I don’t...
It is warm here
Unfortunately, we left the nice temperatures of San Francisco, and now we’re in a place where it’s warm. It’s right about in the middle between San Fran and Los Angeles, so I’m already fearing the rest of the vacation.
For the rest, nothing worth mentioning has happened, or maybe it has, but my memory sucks. Yesterday we did a wonderful drive through a state park I think,...
Tumblr is taking ages to upload photos
So I’ll do it some other time.
Meanwhile in the US and A, we’re going to the Bay Aquarium (or Monterey Bay Aquarium…idk) in a few, and after that driving to Paso Robles. Last night we went to see the sunset, we were a little late, but it was still pretty. And I took a couple pictures. It was nice there, the sand was white and there were these grey-ish trees. Those trees made...
As for the weather
it’s nice. A little cold in the evenings, though. And the wind is hard….bad times for my hair. And today we’re leaving San Fran, so I reckon it will be living in the blistering heat from now on, haha. Today we’re going to the Golden Gate Bridge, and I don’t know what else, but I’m excited :) Still a little bummed though that we’re really leaving SF without...
INTERNET!
Finally! Secretly, I missed the internet.
So, I’ve been in San Fran for three days now.
Firstly, the flight. The flight was enjoyable, actually, as far as a 10+ hour flight can be enjoyable. The food (food, the most important thing in life) was really nice, the tv thingies in the seats were cool (they also had 21st Century Breakdown in their music library thing! And generally good music....
Schiphol
…is where I’m at right now. We’re in the preferred banking lounge thing, where there’s free internet and a computer I can use =D also free drinks…or something. We’re boarding in 20 minutes, I think. And the nice lady who works here just brought me my drink (fristi! I haven’t had that in years! =D). I’m liking this! This is probably, well, I’m...
It's 1:23 am
Apart from that I like how that looks, it means it’s late. It means I should be getting up in roughly five hours from now. It shows that I decided it would be smart to stay up as late as possible to sort of change my biorhythm to the new time zone. Which is stupid because it’s never smart to do anything on too little sleep. Oh well, hopefully I’ll sleep on the plane. :)
...
Tomorrow.
Tomorrow :D
I should get back to packing. Teh internetz are too addictive.
Whoop
So. I’m going to be using this tumblr firstly to make my own version of a travelling blog for my/our vacation to the US. I’ll be updating it….idk how often I’ll be updating it, I hope every day or if that’s impossible because of reception and all, a couple of times a week. I know tumblr isn’t a strictly blog thing (or is it?) but it was the first thing that...
