The Grand Canyon, Arizona

The South Rim of the Grand Canyon, which is the most accessible one, welcomes five million visitors per year. There are over a dozen of viewpoints and you'll find the visitor's center here. The South Rim is open all year round. Here is the link if you plan to visit: http://www.nps.gov/grca/planyourvisit/basicinfo.htm

 

 



Spectacular!

Mather Point Lookout

The Grand Canyon is 5 hours from Las Vegas but worth the long travel. We took a day trip from the Sin City by a big comfortable bus.

My favorite band. U2!

This is a concert experience of a lifetime! I clearly remember the first time I heard the song 'With or without you'. Most of their songs were quite difficult for me to understand when I was young. After reading a lot on their story as band, I learn to dissect Bono's lyrics. I love these Irish lads!

I was there---U2 in Montréal!

Las Vegas

Only used Vegas as the starting point for the Grand Canyon and Los Angeles trip. Here are some of my favorite photos of the Sin City.

Of flowers and bikes!

Ceiling of the Bellagio

The lobby is, in a word, grand, both in scale and in design. Above the 18-foot ceiling is a coffer filled with the most extraordinary glass sculpture, a chandelier called Fiori di Como by glass sculptor Dale Chihuly, whose work has been exhibited in every major museum in the world. This stunning piece is comprised of 2,000 hand-blown glass blossoms. Chihuly glass art sculptures also adorn the Bellagio Baccarat Lounge with the Clusters Persians centerpiece as well as his Blue Spears which outline areas of the Conservatory and Botanical Gardens.
