In keeping with this blog’s mission to make boring things interesting and interesting things boring I will present merely the destinations and activities in my short Western USA holiday with my parents. If anybody wants details or opinions feel free to ask.

Tucson – Desert Museum.

Grand Canyon – The south rim. Ranger talks about the Colorado river, fossils, condors and the trees on the rim. Some walks around the rim and a bit down.

Las Vegas – Circus Circus (accommodation, acts, gambling $20). A magic show with big cats. Looked at lots of casinos: The Venetian, The Mirage, Caesar’s Palace, MGM Grand…

Yosemite – Stayed at the Wawona hotel. Visited the Mariposa grove of giant sequoias and the Yosemite valley. Did walks and saw talks on bears and trees. Saw a bear.

San Francisco – Walked around Fisherman’s Wharf. Cycled over the Golden Gate Bridge. Went to Alcatraz. Saw the crookedest street in the world. Went up Coit tower. Rode cable cars.
