Zion, UTAH

The vast red rocky landscapes remind me of what I thought Mars would look like before I'd ever seen any pictures. It's good to be back in the middle of nowhere. I already spotted a fresh fruit shop and a coffee house that sells homemade pie next to the hotel.

EDIT:
The gift shops here are awesome, filled with native american-themed objects. I knew I'd end up loving this overly isolated place too. After venturing into Orderville to find a restaurant, it turned out the most, or only, civilized area consists in that surrounding our hotel. So we went to eat at the Thunderbird Resort Diner. Its history is actually quite impressive ( read here) and the "ho-made" butter and bread were pretty fucking awesome, as well as the rest of the food. The staff wasn't exactly friendly, and definitley far from promiscuous looking (despite the HO theme), but a pretty enjoyable meal. Some footage of my american burger eating, my dad spooning out butter after an already exagerated meal, and our usual fight over the dessert that only my sister dares to order:
