It's been a busy few months! After traveling in Michigan, Indiana, and Arkansas to see family (some of whom I hadn't seen in 30 years!), I had to decide next moves: back to Maine, or on to new adventures? I had spent lots of time with family and friends... Now, how about some national parks? Yes, please! So I've spent the last two months in Las Vegas--not someplace I ever even imagined visiting for a weekend. I have spent some time on The Strip, and found it fascinating, if overwhelming. But mostly I have been using Las Vegas as a base to see national parks. This is my first time in this area of the US, and I am astonished at the beauty here, so different from the green forests back home. Below are a few photos of highlights, especially of my favorite tour, Antelope Canyon, Navajo Nation Parks. With all the trip planning and taking on a certification program that's been on my to-do list for a while, I haven't been getting much writing done. Sometimes I feel like everything I experience is a possible pool to draw upon for writing, and that I need to document it all as much as possible JUST IN CASE I might want to use it some day. BUT! It's also important (MORE important! I mean MORE important!!) to just be sometimes and not try to consider everything as potential future writing material. Not everything has to be documented and considered and applied! So that's what I'm trying to do. :) Above: photos from Lower Antelope Canyon Navajo Nation Park
