The next morning, we got up early
and 8:00am we were already on our way to Grand Canyon in
Arizona. As the bus climbed higher in the mountains, the
plants and landscapes varied with the altitude. We saw
the views we had only seen in TV and movies before. From
there we can see as far as we would, nothing blocked the
sight until the horizon meets the blue sky. We had a very
good tour guide, he kept telling interesting stories
originated from those areas. Along the way, we stopped several
times for shopping and lunch.

An interesting stop
that day was the London Bridge. I guess most of you have
heard the song "London Bridge is falling down,
falling down...", it's talking about this one. The
bridge was originally built in London over the Thames
River, when it fell down a hundred years ago, an American
millionaire bought it. They broke the bridge into
thousands of pieces, shipped them to US, and rebuilt it
brick by brick on the Lake Mead in Arizona, this is what
we see today.
