Big Sur-California-Usa

| Ester
One of the best ways to go from Monterey to Los Angeles is for the coast called Big Sur, this part of 140 kms it is amazing with some cliffs and curvy roads ,wonderful to enjoy stopping in the places to see the landscape and the colour of the sea, actually when I went it was  August, there was some fires around, how can be induced for people? I was also surprised when I realised there where some posters encouraging and congratulating the firefighters.

Horseshoe bend and Page

The previous night I slept in Page, it is a village with beautiful houses, where you can see a people with a lot of boats, because of the Lake Powell it is next to it, I went to the Horseshoe Bend, It was very hot but it was worth it to see, in this point where you can see the curve of  the Colorado River, it is an astonishing landscape.

This village is located in San Francisco bay, it takes half an hour aproxemetely from San Francisco, I took a boat that the cost was 40 $ aproxemetely, and I spend some time waiting if I could see the sea lions. Actually it was worth it, I could see some.

Las Vegas during the day

When I told to my friends I was going to Las Vegas, I got two different opinions, some of them loved it and the others were completely the opposite, they hated it. So I decided to take my own conclusions.
I knew would be hot, with many casinos and probably crowded. So I have to say I wasn´t expecting a lot. I wasn’t very optimistic.
It is true that after spending a few days in California, Arizona I was getting used to the hot  weather, and what to say normally I stand it very well.
Despite my low expectations, I was gratefully surprise when I found out the city was amazing. When I made the booking of the hotel, I decided to stay in Bellagio Hotel because of the location and for the water fountains show. There was entertainment everywhere. Even it was hot out in the street you could be walking by the corridors inside the buildings with the air conditioning. So you could find a lot of shows and the incredible decoration inside the hotels. I really enjoy my stay in Las Vegas. I loved it, I loved it all.

Sequoia National Park-California-Usa

After 3 days in San Francisco I took the road direction to Sequoia Park,  I was very interested in these big trees,  even that my first intention was to go from San Francisco to Los Angeles I decided to change my destination and spend a night in Visalia, in fact I spend less time than I expected in the road, so instead of visiting the park in the morning I decided to do it the same afternoon coming from San Francisco, one hour after leaving San Francisco the temperature start to increase, and when I arrived to the park was very hot. When I was reaching the entrance, I start to see the huge trees, I want to take a picture of all of them…the place is perfect and I was so surprise because I just loved it, they were trees everywhere. I went to visit the General Sherman which is 83.8 m tall, the place was crowded so I couldn´t take a proper picture.

Las Vegas at night

Some days ago I posted “Las vegas during the day”, well today it is about Las Vegas at night.  A perfect place to go out for dinner and have a walk,  to have a drink, to see the casinos… there is a lot you can find in Las Vegas. And if possible have a look at the Bellaggio Hotel´s fountains.

Golden Gate-San Francisco

| Ester
My last trip has been in the West Coast of United States, the trip started in San Francisco. I visited the Paired Houses, the Opera, the Pier 39 and all the city in general. But with this post only shows pictures of the Golden Gate, I love the construction it is huge..

Antelope Canyon-Arizona-Usa

| Ester

I decided to go to Antelope Canyon, the best time to go it is around 12.00 h because the light comes through the groove and it is a very nice moment for the photographer to catch the light, and for the visitors. Once you are inside it is very nice to see the natural area and the natural waves in the wall, in my case I went about 10.00 o´clock in the morning, we had to take a 4×4 and we went through the desert, it is not possible to go with your own car, the place it is managed for the same Indian in the Reserve, the price it was 40 $ each. This price includes the ticket to the Canyon and also the car, also the guide is included. After once I came back to the place where I park the car, and we decide to go to see the Colorado River in some of the points view in Page.
