Grand Canyon
Today we saw one of the seven natural wonders of the world, the Grand Canyon in Arizona.
That was probably the most exciting and interesting day of our tour. We got on the bus at 8.30 A.M., it took one hour to get to the national park of the Grand Canyon. Everybody were super prepared, we had sun glasses, sunscreen, since it was 103 degrees... And of course LOTS OF WATER.
We took a shuttle to get to the hike and as soon as the shuttle stopped everybody was amazed by the the beauty of the HUGE Canyon. Everyone, or almost, brought their own flag to take lots of awesome pictures. Some of us made it all the way to the bottom of the hike, some other just stopped to the first rest area (weak teenagers). The whole hike was around 1.5 miles each way; without a doubt the hardest part was definitley the way back up. For some people was harder, for some easier... but we all made it at the end. The beauty of the Canyon is hard to describe in just a little paragraph, but it was for sure a breathtaking experience. Everyone was ready for luch,we were ”strangely” hungry and exhausted. After lunch we watched the Grand Canyon movie in I max.
We took more pictures at the bright angel spot, once again it was amaizing. In the evening we all got to the ranch to get all the red dust and dirt off our pretty faces. For supper we went DOWNTOWN Williams, a huge cowboy village of maybe 3 thousand souls. We watched a cowboy show in the middle of the road. We then enjoyed an awesome bbq at Route 66. We all sang old country songs with a country singer from the village afterwards.
Now we swim in the pool, play basketball or just hang out, because our corfure got extented until 12:30, the latest one ever as a gift for our good behavior.
