impressions

Unai Kandanae Mudhal murai… Song from ‘Parijatham’…plays in my mind---as the horizon gives way to my first glimpse of Grand Canyon… wow! It is one of those places which are really worth the fame. Grand Canyon holds its place in the list of natural wonders and a special place in my heart. I had been to GC and Las Vegas over the long weekend (I know it is too late…was just lazy to write) GC is 460 miles from here and las vegas 290 miles from there and whole trip was around 1300 miles, and best part was we started only Friday evening, coz we wanted 2 of our other friends to join us and they were working that Friday. The trip was tedious especially driving all that distance, but I reckon it was worth it. Coming back to GC.. despite its dryness, it tugs at my heartstrings like little else can… it is one place where you have to be, to feel it…no pictures or motion pictures can actually capture the true essence of the place. So if you are in south west US…try to make it to GC. Right: Thats Sunset at Grand Canyon. About Las Vegas---nothing to say, as I slept the moment I entered the room and woke up only at the check out time.. we reached vegas 2 in the night n I was dead tired. Friends went around vegas n I guess other than clubs n casino’s there is nothing much there.

are these people running out of names??? thats a road on the way back to LA from Los Angeles. All the fotos are from my mobile and i guess they wont be all that clear.



I am planning to move my blog to wordpress soon...

I had the same experience when I went to the Grand Canyon. It was an awesome trip and an equally awesome sight.

I really want to camp out at the Canyon and see how it is trek out there !

Great pics ! And I remember going "hmmm" when I saw that exit name !
