The symbol of Arizona, the biggest hole on earth (although Albertans are trying very hard to make even bigger one near Fort McMurray) - the Grand Canyon. It's fricking huge!
It makes you think about the power of "mother nature" and the fact that maybe it's not a very good idea to mess with her. Anyway, if you want to see it, try to avoid the summer season due to high temperatures and thousands of annoying tourists :)

Well the winter is over. It's starting to be almost uncomfortably hot in Cabo. It's time to head back north so we're leaving today.

The small town of Todos Santos, near Cabo San Lucas, is well known for its art galleries and shops.
We went there during a week-long Art Festival, presenting amongst other things, mexican folk art. While in town, we "had to" check out the famous, beautifully restored Hotel California (the legend says that this is the place from the famous Eagles song, in reality Henley has never been there). The food was really quite good. A small sample of the "Colors of Mexico" below.

The main reason for the trip to the mainland was an attempt to climb the highest mountain in Mexico - El Pico de Orizaba, 5610 m. Unfortunately the weather didn't co-operate and I had to turn back about 400 vertical meters from the summit due to high winds, blowing snow and zero visibility. Below are some pictures from the adventure.

I needed a break from the beach (ya, I know, it's hard to believe) so I went to the Mexico City area for a week. It's probably one of the most fascinating cities in the world. This was my second trip and I think everyone should go there to experience the energy, the history, the culture, the people. It's a vibrant, colorful, chaotic place and I really enjoyed visiting again.
