Californian trip !


Hey Canada !
As you already know I thought I'd start this blog all over again and in english this time ! Hopefully I'll have some exciting things happening this year so I'll get to write a bit ^^ But first I wanted to show bits and pieces of my trip to California so that you don't think I went somewhere else for two weeks and took vacations...I can tell you already this wasn't vacations! We cooked, we cleaned, we hiked for more than 10 hours, and we sometimes slept outside our tents to be ready to leave as soon as 4.30 in the morning ! Yeah...It was really hard! I suffered a lot indeed, even the candies weren't helping to get through. Even the hot tubs and pools weren't enough to relieve our soar legs. We've got blisters for everyone without exceptions and nobody to take care of our feet but ourselves! Can you imagine that?! This was, to the utter point, unbearable. Thus, if you really don't wanna do me a treat I reckon you should send me there again. I deserve it. I've been bad enough, didn't I :)
Ok, I get it you want me to give you more details than that... Let's start by the beginning when Henriette (the danish girl) and me arrived at the San Francisco airport. Once there we were both thinking "And...what's next?" and no one was apparently waiting for us in the airport as we simply thought...So we were lost to begin with... (that never usually happened to me). After some time spent to look around, see if someone looked as stupid as we felt on the moment, we got the idea to ask one of the worker there who was very kind and let us check our e-mails on his computer. So from there we now had a Hotel to go to by bus...so we caught the right bus to go to the Tree Hotel where our trip was suppose to start. We're Still in San Francisco! But now we're moving to LA, there is only stars there that's why we don't stay too long (only two nights), 'cause stars are boring, aren't they? The spent our first day in LA at the Universal Studios and in the Holywood St where we saw hands prints of famous people just by the Graham Theatre (I looked for you there...)

In U.S we did a train tour to see the different set that they had, where they play desperate housewives or the crash airplane of "The War of the Worlds". They'd also demonstrate to us were the effects we produce on screen such as car accidents or flooding in a street. The only problem with that one was the weather was perfect so we didn't really work out...
"Action !"

 Ah, I also forgot that a very cute banch of spunks sprayed in one tent (fortunately not mine) and that these friends had to throw out their sleeping bags and some of their belongings as well...I've never seen as many skunk as in Los Angeles, they must like sticking to celebrities... (don't be famous!) After our stay in LA, we headed south towards San Diego for two days. There
 we lied down on the sand and settle for the first time the volley ball's net! That's also when we got our first sun burns! Then, still in San Diego, we visited Sea world and had lots of fun, especially with the whales show when they'd splash you in the front rows. The sun got really hot as we left San Diego for Grand Canyon and crossed the mohabi desert. It's funny to get out of the air conditionned bus and feel the 50°'s air outside, so dry and so hot! Our bus broke down in the middle of that desert but luckily we weren't far from a mall where we stayed for hours. These pictures show you how it was once inside the Canyon :
We left at 5 am to see the sun rise in the canyon.

we must approach to 10 am when this picture's been taken.

At last, after 3 hours or more of hiking down, we finally got to the Colorado river. 1km is the height of the canyon if you're  going straight up.
