June 30, 2009 - Grand Canyon... WOW!!!
























Hello Everyone!!!

Oh my goddness!! This morning when we woke up, we couldn't believe that the Grand Canyon was already waiting for us!

After having breakfast, we left the hotel at 8 o'clock and headed to one of the most amazing places in the world. On the bus, we had fun exchanging experiences with our new friends from all over the world.

When we finally got there after an hour bus ride, we ran to the spot where we got the perfect view of the Grand Canyon. We were so impressed and excited to see this fantastic landscape that we had always seen only on pictures.

Thousands of pictures were taken from the very beginning. Since Raphael advised us about being tired, we bought a lot of huge bottled waters that were sold out immediately.

We took some group pictures and then started hiking down the hill into the Grand Canyon.

On the way down, the trial seemed easy but we didn't realize how it would be to come back up. We walked about one mile and a half to get to the first break point where we rested for a little bit and captured our lifelong memories in millions of pictures. Then we started going back but the way wasn't so pleased with us. We were tired and our water bottles were helpful.

It took us around two hours to reach the top. We couldn't express how tired we were but we were so glad that we got back again and could say that we DID it! We got lunch, bought some souvenirs, and then headed back home, our beloved hotel. We spent the evening relaxing and getting ready for the next exciting destination - Las Vegas!!!
