Flagstaff Adventures

Yesterday morning (April 21), we left Flagstaff, Arizona, from two big adventures. I am going to tell you about them in this post.
Sedona 
Sedona is a beautiful city surrounded by huge formations of red rocks, shaped over millions of years. You'll definitely gasp or say "whoa" at the gigantic mountains. There just amazing. While we were there we went on two hikes and and awesome helicopter ride.

The Grand Canyon
An amazing place, really. Pure amazing. I mean, to even think of the fact that a river that small shaped something that big? Seems impossible. When we visited there we basically all we did was go on a hike, but we still saw a lot of it.


Also on our hike we saw this rock-mover machine thing. As you can see, there's a pile of rocks beside it
.

Right now we're in San Diego, California, visiting our relatives. I will post soon after we leave.

Saguaro National Park

Have you ever bungee jumped? Probably not. Although if you ask me, well, I have, for the first time. I can show you, too. Click this link.
When we were in Deming, we visited my parents' friends' winery, and after that, their friends took us to the Adobe Deli, a unique restaurant featuring a two-headed calf.


After Deming we went to Tombstone, a city reliving the wild west, where we went to see a comedy gunfight show. We also went to this place where these people made snake parts into various things and then sold them. They also had one acre of wild west antiques.
We left Saguaro National park today, home of the famous Saguaro cacti, where we went on an eight mile bike ride and then went to the Pima County Fair, where I Bungee jumped for the first time.


Now we are almost to Flagstaff, AZ, where we will see the Grand Canyon and visit Sedona.

White Sands National Monument

Hi I'm back, finally. No wi-fi for a long time so I haven't been able to write for a long time. I'll start with San Antonio, TX.
We went there to see are friend, and the last day there we saw her parents.


There we created painting-carving things and the one in the middle is mine, a goblin shark.
Next, we went to Big Bend National Park. There we went on a four-day canoe trip.  Click here to see a video of us.
After that we climbed Gudalupe Peak in Gudalupe Mountains National Park.


Then we went to Carlsbad Caverns. It was extremely cool.


We just left White Sands National Monument, a series of completely white sand dunes, today, April 14. Click here to see a video of us. Ya, ya, laugh at the end, thats me.


Now we are in Deming, New Mexico. I have yet to discover since we just got here.

Crystal Beach, Texas

You probably have one question: Where?

Devastation by Hurricane Ike a few years ago literally destroyed the whole place. Not much anymore, just a small settlement made of mostly houses. New houses, actually.
