Better late than never, right?!! Here's some more photos from my trip to the US. Tomorrow I'll be going to the Roskilde festival so maybe later you'll hear about that!!



Me, in Laguna Beach, CA



Baywatch or what!! You can see Santa Monica pier in the background!



An example of the interesting/weird architecture I saw in Venice Beach!



And yes! This is me!! Cool or what!! A real surfer chick!!



The coast between L.A and San Francisco. It was more beautiful than you can imagine!!



This is the flying "thing" that hit us while driving on the freeway!



Golden gate bridge, San Francisco!



Our beautiful hostel in Sacramento, CA. Martin is sitting on the porch in the red t-shirt...



Oak greek Canyon, AZ. Sorry, dont have any from Grand Canyon!



I'm actually in the pool, but right behind the chair! At Eva's parents' place in Phoenix, AZ.

Take care and I'll see you all after Roskilde!!!

Back home...

Yep, it's all over, I'm back in Sweden. But actually it's not all bad. The weather is really nice and next week I'll be going to our summer house!
I just want to tell you about the last few days of my travelling.
After Flagstaff we took the long drive to Phoenix through Oak creek Canyon which was really beautiful but nothing speciel compared to Grand Canyon. We arrived in Scottsdale, Phoenix around 6 pm monday and went to Eva's parents. ( Martins family) They had a really, really nice house and a really nice pool which was necessary for my tanning! It was so unbelievable hot! 40 degrees and up and no wind at all!
Her mom made us a delicious dinner and we watched King Kong! Most of tuesday was spend in or by the pool, spiced with a tiny trip to Victorias Secret, nice dinner at the house and then we went out to have a beer and a chocolate martini with Eva's brother Sal! It was better than I thought!
And wednesday was the day we started our journey home. First a 4-5 hour drive to L.A, where we hooked up with Mattias and went for thai food. We slept at his place, right until thursady morning at 6:30 am. We got up and got to the airport where I cought my flight and now I'm home...
It has been a great travel! Just let me know if you wanna hear more about it!!
The last thing I need to do is to put the best photos here as well.
I'll be right back!

Flagstaff, Arizona...

... is where I'm at right now. A small western town with some really noisy trains coming trough all the time, but besides that, really charming.
Hmm.. Have to think now... We left Sacramento really early tuesday morning heading for the American river, South fork where we went White water rafting. (Martins birthday present to me) It was awesome! The water was really, really cold, but the sun was burning and the rapids wild! Afterwards we got back in the car and drove to Yosemite National Park where we stayed a night and the moved on to see the huge seqouias (trees) in Seqouia NP, which can reach an diameter of 40 feet, 12 m, and was about 1700 years old!! Fantastic!! We spend the rest of the day driving, wanting to be in Vegas for the night. So we drove through the desert, passed the state line to Nevada and arrived around midnight in a glittering Las Vegas. The next day we went Casino watching. It was so hot, around 40 in the shade and no wind... So it was just heaven going in to an airconditioned hotel/casino and gamble a little. We won some and lost some, but it was fun! The hostel had a really nice pool where I spend some time... Saturday we went to Mesquite so Martin could get his birthday present from me, a skydive! He went up and came down and thought it was briliant!!
We got back to Vegas, found out that my account is empty... :o( so we went to a supermarket to get some cheap lunch. But in the middle of our shopping a lady announced over the speakers that everybody had to leave, some kind of emergency... I thought a fire alarm had went on but no, it was a bomb threat.. Nice! So we left quite fast!That night we went back to the Casinos: Paris-Vegas, Bellagio, MGM, Venetian and so on.
But sunday morning we'd had enough and left. Drove to Hoover dam which was impressive and continued to Arizona and Grand Canyon which was absolutely amazing!! It's SO big!! Really breath taking!! Just the colours and the Colorado river at the very bottom looking like a snake trying to find its way out... What a metaphore!! It was really great! And leaving Grand Canyon led us to Flagstaff. Today we're gonna take a walk here, then get in the car and go to Phoenix where we're gonna stay with Martins bigbrothers wifes parents!
Oh and we got a new car. 20 miles north of Fresno an indicator in the car started blinking and when we called Budget they told us to go to Budget in Fresno and they gave us a new one. Same same but different: its green...
Have to go now, promis to have pictures next time!
Hope you're all doing great!!



Big tree in Seqouia!



Big trees, small car...
