Zion National Park

Time to do a little catching up.

My dear friend Gloria (who I get to see in about two weeks!) came to visit in October, and I was able to get some time off work to go down and see her! Tammy, Sara, Gloria and I did a little road trippin' down to southern Utah to take in the sights of Zion National Park. We met Gloria's friend Dane there, and had a blast exploring the beauty that is southern Utah.

Gloria was pretty excited to clean the windshield and to pump her own gas, because in Taiwan, the gas station attendants always do it for her. :)



I got my first speeding ticket on our way to Zion's. Gloria had never been pulled over by a police officer, and wanted to remember this first in her life. I had no idea she was documenting as I was talking to the officer. Too, too funny. At least I'll never forget my first speeding ticket. :)We got up close and personal with a California Condor. It's HUGE (the largest land bird on this continent). It's wingspan is over 10 feet! It was pretty impressive to watch this guy swoop in. At one time, there were only 22 of California Condors left in the world.
Angel's landing. Gorgeous!
Stunning sights, dear friends...what more could a girl want?

Looks like a lot of fun. I love Zions. I also love Arches, have you been there? If not, you need to go, it's so awesome. Buon Natale cara mia!
