I don't think there is anything more challenging to the brain than trying to type an essay after a busy and tiring day. So instead of writing an essay, we're just going to post pics. Often pics say a lot more than words so I hope the photo's we took today does justice to the experience we had.
We always associate deserts, Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon with extreme heat. We only hear about the heat, but very little is ever said about the freezing temperatures these places experience. Also, did you know that once a year Las Vegas gets snow? Well we didn’t and believe it or not, we even saw it.
To add to our “Wonders of the World” list, we have to add “Driving through the desert to Grand Canyon in a snow storm.” WHOA! It was breathtaking. At some places it was mainly due to the absolute beauty of the snow and in some because you can’t see a single thing in front of you. Nevertheless BREATHTAKING! Here are some gorgeous pics for you to see. ENJOY!
Current Temperature of this post: -12C...damn freezing if you ask me!!!!!!!!!!!!
