Southwest USA

The last 2 weeks of our stay in the US passed extremely quickly! A lot of memories will remain, most of them very positive :-)
Our SouthWest USA trip in numbers:
- total time ~20 days,
- total distance driven more than 5400km (yellow line on the image = 100km),
- number of photos collected: 3301.

First times:

- got engaged (hopefully this is also the list time!),
- being in North America,
- had 3 weeks long holidays,
- drove a car with an automatic gear box,
- drove such a big car (the best car for off-road driving is a rental car :-)),
- drTBBE rode a horse for the firs time in his life (no lesson or introduction whatsoever - just ridding :-),
- spent a night in a tent when it was snowing outside,
- bought a pair of Levis jeans for 15$,
- drove about 100km return just to buy cigarettes,
- saw real cowboys,
- have so many rocks on photos (too much time spent with geologists, I guess :-p ),
- played in casino,
- ...


During these 3 weeks I probably eat more burgers than in the last 10 years and got more sunshine than in the last 2 years ;-)
