I was there in 1982, the memory still indelible because I invested so much in it. <br /><br />My favourite corner was the south-west, where the heat was exhilerating and dry. My favourite moment seeing the sun rise over the Grand Canyon, then walking the cork-screw path down to its bottom. Walking back up, less good. <br /><br />Greatest regret, missing Monument Valley and Bryce Canyon - so South-West, Broken Biro, possibly calling in to Maria's for afternoon tea :)Mike Keytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15116528233058221536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644036152805047632.post-700892212840614442010-06-24T04:00:24.612-07:002010-06-24T04:00:24.612-07:00Hi there!

I never miss it.<br /><br />That was a heck of a journey. How long was it from start to finish? <br /><br />I've been in Texas since 1976. Up until ten years ago, I used to live in a small town about 90 miles east of Houston.<br /><br />If you ever come back to the states, we'll reintroduce you to Texas. --now that you have a local guide.<br /><br />PS Thank you so much for the linky love!Maria Zanninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604862636922299273noreply@blogger.com
