童: Grand Canyon Trip

Went for a trip to Grand Canyon for one of the long weekend. It's a 1100+ miles(1770km) round trip! This time it's traveling towards the East, No longer up north or down to the south. We've drove across 2 states. Nevada and Arizona. Grand Canyon isnt much if you're not gonna hike down. But it's a very hard hike. Due to the overall height of about 6k feet, oxygen were very thin. you'll be inhalling like no body business. 3 big gulps of breath and you'll probably get one gulp of oxygen.. and it's very cold there. It's from -3 to 0 degree celsius overall, but that's not what makes us cold. It's the strong wind that kills you! :D but well it's fun. Spent 2 days at Grand Canyon. Then off we go, drove another route home, pass by route 66. Was anticipating sometime similiar with the featured animation "Cars". But seen nothing similiar other than some of the shops there, tiny wodden shops. Route 66 is a long route. probably we're not in the correct portion of it :) But we enjoyed it. Then head up to Hoover Dam, another few hours drive. It was so crowded, we were thinking if it's because of Transformers the movie that made that place famous, or it's because it was famous and Transformers had on of their scene captured there. The dam is the border line of Arizona and Nevada. And there is a 1 hour difference between this 2 states. So we're like crossing a time zone. back and forth. Stopped nearby for sunset. then drove home! It was a 8+ hour drive when we're going to Grand Canyon. And the journey home took us 16 hours ! wow.. and it sets a record on my driving book.
