Sofie woke up and as she turned to me she screamed: "there's a monster in the tent"! She said I looked like the guy from the Notre Dame in Paris! My left eye was completely closed and thick from ... the nasty mosquitoes! Whatever I tried... I couldn't open it. Went to the bathroom and scared two girls there... resulting in their mom coming back - she was a nurse and gave me all kind of good advice like no driving for me! Well, a bicycle is ridden, so that didn't count. That day we walked the South rim of the Grand Canyon, walked to the brink of the upper and lower falls of the Yellowstone river, walked to inspiration point. Too bad I could only see half of it. Our succes of hitching a ride back was zero. Even here at a trailhead a man came up and gave me a bag of ice cubes to put on my eye. Anyways: the canyon is a formidastic place to be with rainbows over the water and the yellow, pink and orange steep walls, carved by the Yellowstone river. On our way back we saw elk next to the road.
Showers in the National park cost 3$25!! One can either choose to drink a beer or have a shower!
Sofie has over 20 bites of mosquitoes but for the rest... all goes well!
