Now in Las Vegas

Have not been writing on the blog as we have had limited time or lack of internet access. We went to Washington DC after New York which happened to be the 4th of July. We saw a parade down the street and the fireworks at night..similar to our Australia Day fireworks. One big difference was there was no drunken yobos anywhere. Drinking is prohibited in public places so obviously no one drank and hence everyone behaved themselves. Washington DC is quite grand with its buildings and monuments and a very pleasant and orderly place to visit.The next day we woke up at 4 am in the morning to catch a plane to Phoenix Arizona and hired a car to the Grand Canyon where we stayed the night. The canyon is quite spectacular but had some haze which was disappointing.
Now we are in Las Vegas which is such a contrast and quite overwhelming. Michael is quite excited to be here and caught up with his Swiss AFS friend who are planning to hang around together for a short time.
