Hey guys! Happy Independence Day!

"I'm So Ronrey" So Funny

You gotta watch it, it's so funny. If you do you will notice that the giant statue is a real person under very heavy make-up, you can see him blinking. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEaKX9YYHiQ 

Arizona

Hi people! I just came back from Arizona. It was so hot (temperature wise). The first day was all driving, the hotel we stayed at was in Las Vegas. The hotel was called Excalibur it was okay I guess, but it was like made for children, it looked like it was based on Disney cause of the "towers". The second day,we drove to west grand canyon and we went on the skywalk. That night, we stayed at Howard Johnson, and I hated it, we checked in, but when we got back from dinner our room card didn't work, so we went to the hotel office and told them. Apparently there was a mix-up and they had to fix the problem, which took a long time. The third day, we took a jeep tour, and watched an IMAX about the grand canyon. After that, we visited south grand canyon and took a few pictures. That night, again, our card didn't work, they replaced the card,then, told us it would work, but, it didn't. We went to the office again and replaced the card. Eventually, we figured out the problem, after the mix-up, they only enabled the card for one night. The fourth day, we took a hammer jeep tour which was ok I guess caus I was sitting in the middle row and it was really bumpy. Here's what happened my butt literally came off the seat, and I was wearing a seat belt, then, my butt came back down, so you can tell I was very uncomfortable. Then, we went to meteor crater, which had a free subway meal, the problem was, for lunch my family and I already ate subway. After that we drove to lake havasu city, and visited the London bridge. Our hotel was better that the second,but it had fire ants in the parking lot, but still it was okay. Then for day five, we drove for nine hours, just like the first day. When we got home, I was like "Home, sweet home".

El Chorro

that is crazy. Why would anyone try to cross it?
El Chorro is a limestone gorge in Andalusia in southern Spain, through which passes the Guadalhorce river. It was dammed in 1921, forming three reservoirs which are flanked by pine forests.

It sits next to the 700m high Desfiladero de los Gaitanes pass, and is famous for the very dangerous path called Caminito del Rey (King's little pathway). The path took its name because it was officially opened by Alfonso XIII of Spain. However official access to the path was removed in 2000 after a tourist died trying to cross it. According to a tourist leaflet, four tourists died during the two years before the closure. There are now movements afoot (as of October 2008) by the local council in Ardales to secure funding to restore the path although any work is not expected to happen before 2010 with completion maybe in 2012.

Happy Thanksgiving

Best Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is here, so our minds have turned
To what time has taught us, to what we’ve learned:
We often focus all our thought
On shiny things we’ve shopped and bought;
We take our pleasure in material things
Forgetting the pleasure that friendship brings.
If a lot of our stuff just vanished today,
We’d see the foundation of each happy day
Is special relationships, constant and true,
And that’s when our thoughts go directly to you.
We wish you a Thanksgiving you’ll never forget,
Full of love and joy—your best one yet!
