We started the trip by driving to Zion National Park, Utah. Long drive, but easy driving. We stayed at a funky B&B near Zion - no cell -no internet reception - no hair dryer - no AC. But it was ok, nice people - the other guests were a melded Russian/American family; some folks from Massachusets and an Italian honeymoon couple. This made for interesting conversation.

During the night it rained - nice thunderstorm. Probably not so nice for the campers in the park, where they had flashflooding.

Our tax dollars are at work in Zion - major road work; one lane traffic; pilot cars, the works. For once I was happy about the required 25 miles per hour -it made it possible to really enjoy the scenery.

Andrea was right - this place is awesome! Actually it is a lot more impressive when you are there than when you look at the pictures. Absolutely fabulous.

No idea who the person in the picture is.

Ignore the traffic cone - look at the ARCH!!!

(This is where the road goes down to one lane, unpaved)
