Waking up after a ling day driving is hard, but OK. Waking up after sleeping 2 hours is almost impossible! But we did it! We had to drive Nat to the airport. He is leaving us (going back to SF). We had a really good time with him, lot of fun too :P
After a last ride on the strip, we left to cross the desert and go to Grand Canyon. Not too many problems with the heat but we fill outside is like in a oven! Around 4, pretty close from our goal, we stopped to eat in a diner with a great ambiance: the flinstone family!! Leaving it, I saw one of the brochure to fly over Grand Canyon and we decided to do so. I called the guys in the car to make sure it was still possible and reserve 3 seats! Arrived on site, the 3 seats we had the OK for, were taken... little but hungry, I argued with the guy and the finally found a solution: A small place, with only us inside, and the pilot!! We took off and had that fantastic flight over Grand Canyon. The views are wonderful, magic... It’s a bit like YellowStone... I am so impressed... Look at the number of pic and you will understand! We flew for 50 minutes with the pilot explaining some stuff about the all thing.
Back on the ground, we headed to Phoenix and then Tucson, our goal of the day.We arrived late, really happy to be there after that great day!!

Bonjour mon Homme
j'ai bien envoye un message a Herve qui va t'appeler et qui te propose de dormir chez lui. De toutes facons, ce serait peut etre sympa de lui apporter une bouteille de champagne, non ??
Ta maman a un peu de problemes avec la rose des vents comme tu as pu le voir.......ce n'est pas d'Est en Ouest, mais bien d'Ouest en Est ta nouvelle route.
Quel superbe voyage, je regarderai toutes les photos ce soir tranquilement n'ayant pas beaucoup de temps au bureau.
brvo pour l'idee de survoler le Grand Canyon.Il devait faire bon chaud comme tu dis; quelle etait la temperature dans ce desert ??
Je t'embrasse et te souhaite bonne route ( attention a la fatigue en conduisant.... )
