Daar ben ik weer!!!
Now I start writing in English.
I met so many nice people here in the US that I have to start writing in English.
In Escalante I did a hike to see some petrified forest. Beautiful colors!!!
I met Bernie at three different campsites. Also in Escalante. Quite amazing, since he is with a car and I'm with my bike.
Going to Kodachrome Basin State Park I had to do some climbing. It wasn't to bad. But I noticed the road was becoming more busy. (Bryce must have been the reason for that)
It was a beautiful place. I did some cycling without my gear, which is really nice for a change.
I'm still taking pictures as if I'm a Japanese tourist, but that's OK I think, since it is so beautiful, and if I don't like the picture, I will just get rid of it.
Bryce was really amazing, but it was also relatively busy, too many busses with tourists. Even people with nametags.....
Since I'm at a higher elavation it is becoming colder. There's also chance of snow.... So I have to keep going. In direction of Cedar City, where I will try to meet up with some people of Servas (the organisation I joined to meet people)
Via one adress I got another telephone number of people that joined recently.
That was very nice. Now sunday 16th of May I'm with these nice people for 3 days already. The reason is that I could join them on a rafting trip!!! That was awesome. In a "duckie" (small one person sort of kayak") we did some nice rapids, with a group of 11 people (students of SUU)
Plan is to go to Zion on Monday. But I will use an alternative kind of transport as well. I want to see a lot, but have not enough time to get through all of Arizona in time. So I will rent a car.............
but will cycle of course to keep in shape.
I will keep you posted of course if I see some nice things (Grand Canyon and Monument Valley)
See you
Jelle

Fantastic Shots!!!
Is the language the reason that your story became longer or is there more exiting news to tell.
Keep on going in biking and writing. -

Wonderful!
I read you are enjoying yourself. Very good!
Don't forget to pass by Sedona (Ariz) and her surroundings: very impressive red rock!
I am already curious of your next message.
