A journal entry from: Round the world

Finally ... photos of our fun times in San Francisco, Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, etc, etc! Hope you enjoy them - the Grand Canyon is amazing! :)

 Hope you are all well and happy ... we are currently in Dallas, just about to go and check out the JFK memorial and museum which should be interesting!

We landed in San Francisco, spent a lovely week with Ana and Doug during which we saw Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge, helped with lots of wedding preparations and lost our nice tans!!!!!! :)

Then we hired a car and headed down to Las Vegas where we gambled all our savings away ... well, almost! Spent one day at Hoover Dam which was really interesting and then the following day we drove a round-trip total of 500 miles to visit the Grand Canyon ... so worth it, it was spectacular, we did a three hour hike into the Canyon and it was awesome!

Then we headed up to Reno for Ana & Doug's wedding which was great - the wedding itself was lovely, everyone was so happy and the parties surrounding the wedding were lots of fun too! We drove the car back to San Francisco where we were 'adopted' by Ana's parents for the day which was great!

We spent three days on a bus traveling from San Francisco down to Dallas which was 'interesting'!

Ok, got to go as we're in the library and don't have long on the internet!

Lots of love to all of you, miss you all loads and hope spring is pretty in England ... sure it is!xxxx
