AMERICAN ADVENTURES...

Our trip starts off in Mexico City, where we visit Luz's sister Ana...floating along the canals of Xochimilco, checking out the amazing museums, walking down ancient avenues under the shadow of imposing pyramids, meeting up with friends in nearby Puebla and looking out from a hilltop chapel to a distant volcano...

...then catching a plane to LA for a complete change of pace, embarking on a road trip that will take us through the Arizona desert to ancient Native American cliff dwellings, fascinating rock formations...the Grand Canyon, in all its splendor, followed by the "locura" of Las Vegas...ending up back in California to walk among the giant sequoias in Yosemite and following the coast up to San Francisco, full of wonderful visits with family and friends along the way...

...finally flying back from San Francisco to Madrid, but not before stopping home in NY to pay a surprise visit to my parents...all in all a very complete summer holiday (gotta love European vacation time! :)
