Before coming to Mexico City, we went to the Grand Canyon.... it's kind of a huge hole... or perhaps you stand on high strangely-flat mountains and you look down... no, actually it's a hole. Anyway, the views are spectacular!
We flew from Boston to Phoenix, along with our huge suitcases (two plus laptop each), and there we met my in-laws. We drove from Phoenix to Grand Canyon in a Toyota Sienna and another minivan... We drove by a little town by the mountains named Sedona... it's nice, has great views of the bright red mountains... saddly we didn't have enough time to stop there. We arrived at our hotel at Tusayan that night and prepared for the exhausting day waiting for us.
The next morning (6 a.m. or something like that) we got on a plane which took us to fly over the canyon, it was really nice. Then we went to a Navajo resevation to see a beautiful place named Deer Canyon... it's like a very small canyon (at some points you can stretch to touch both walls) with spectacular colors mixed with sunlight. Then, we went to a dam in the Glen Canyon (it's like a piece of the Grand Canyon) to take a boat and we sailed on the Colorado River... was an exhausting day, but great.
The next morning, we left Tusayan and drove to Las Vegas... and I won't say anymore, because 'what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas'!
