How Can I Fix Ptosis Without Surgery?
I plan to make a movie of our trip but it may take a little time so do not be impatient, I will contact you when this is over.
you soon and thank you to everyone we have followed through the blog.

Here we are. Back in our country, France. It is fine to want to flee to discover new horizons, or criticize, we are still pleased to find her. It feels like either.
After more than two months of wandering, we can realize how lucky we have to have a home, a house, the family that loves us and we love also, which is can count more than anything.
This is another benefit of traveling to step back from his own life going to a very fast and does not expect us.

And so it quiet?
Some might ask: what is a trip like this can make?
Well a lot of things, some of which we realize on the spot, others a little later after reflection, and still others who will not come out of our unconscious. As
could tell me an old man traveling in a hostel in New York, the trip is University life. It may be the key to puzzles that we are intrinsic. We can generally take a step back from our little daily routine. Thus we have the opportunity to understand behaviors, situations, systems, to appreciate new things, or even some we did not like before, multiply the feelings of being much more independent, to find motivation ... The list is long, so of course I leave to those who have experienced the continuing care of quietly.
Another completely legitimate question: while the U.S., the yankees?!
Yes yes I get there. From a general point of view I must say that I will keep excellent memories of this trip. On all points of view. In the U.S. you will really see it all! I would say is the country of diversity, too much of the madness. We went in deserts out of sight but also in New York for example is a world reference in terms of modernity. We saw big huge, tattooed completely, drug addicts 24/24, rich rich, the poor very poor, gay, of all nationalities, religions, crazy, Hollywood stars, the arch ecologists. We saw huge pickup, taxis in New York all hybrid electric buses, old trucks incredibly polluting.
I think the U.S. is capable of the worst as the best. But I also feel there will be no moderation. I mean, you blame them they are fat, they provide ways Colossal about it and it's not long finished. You tell them they pollute, they will replace all taxis in a huge city by other hybrids at the leading edge of technology. These are illustrations of "too much" that I felt. A big
BRIEF encourage you all to go for periods shorter or longer elsewhere.

Departure by plane is 14 in the morning. Now we must make the car before. So we decided to make the day at noon.
So we spent the afternoon at the airport, then at night (it's great for sleeping, are full of carpet). The next morning the plane direction.
The program 5am flight to Montreal, then 1 hour stopover, then 6am flight to Paris. Of course we must take into account the time difference between LA and Paris 9. And it hurts!
Anyway the flight went very well. The films are passing the time much faster, and meals.
Morning arrival in 7am to Paris. We find the RER, rain, cold ... But hey that's really good to feel in France. Now I only go home, and there it will be great. Find a bed, the family and great food is what I look forward to most.

Our program in LA will be as follows:
- Venice Beach and Venice: same type of high range that Coronado. The beautiful area is named after the conservationist Abbot Kinney. During a trip to Italy, this man fell in love with Venice and decided to make a reproduction of the channels. In 1906, visitors could use gondolas imported directly from Italy.
- Santa Monica: walking on the 3rd street in the center and on the dock trying to extend the sea end of Route 66. The beaches are still the same style
- Mulholland Drive: mythical road known by the French-American film of the same name and directed by David Lynch. It turns out that several Hollywood stars have settled. We tried to ring from Madonna, but in vain, not even one response.
- Downtown: practically useless to go. While large buildings but not as big as New York and much much fewer. Except a few museums, 2 or 3 monuments to visit and then the rest of the parks were filled with beggars, car parks and want you in here.
- Malibu: nothing at all about beaches. No Pamela or even something like it. Then it seems there are some parks.
- Beverly Hills: lavish homes and huge stars to drool like a dog. This may interest some, not me. Or nothing at all.
- Washing the car with small Mexican: Before you return the car we had to clean the car. In California, in large cities, there are simply structures to get the car wash chain. Leaving the car, you get what you want, then many small Mexican take care of the rest. A stand for the vacuum cleaner, stand for the body, one for polishing. At each stand 4 Mexican. It cost us $ 22 for everything. And I can tell you it was really dirty.

We left for a visit to Beverly Hills, just to walk in the neighborhood of the stars. In the middle of a residential area, we come upon the scene of a shooting. There are tons of trucks prod, vans and the police are there to circulate a few cars passing by. Really there are not many people in this corner. It was then decided to park a little further and try to get as close as possible to see who are the stars and also how a shooting takes place.
Once parked, we passed the security located in the surrounding streets (well, my dear we live next door, so why stop it?), We walked to the shooting, going right in front of the stage, just behind the main camera is on rails and begin to take a little cliche. Can I ask a guy next to me: "Who are the stars?", "Is it known?". He replied "Sure!". Then he asked us who we are, where we came from and how did spent our trip? And finally we propose to bring us back the lead actress. "Well yes why not," he starts but is not expected at all. A minute star Stana Katic (his name) is there before us, we shook hands, asked us where we came, we said she turned to Paris last year, talks about his family (the questions were good anyway) and then we leave and go back to filming. I run to Xavier, "We need a picture!". Xavier launches direct it towards the middle of the road and asked her for a photo. She agrees very nicely and we are both a photo with her.
We will not return to how it was nice with us. It was sweet, beautiful, and not at all proud or anything. Good
then a policeman came and asked us to move away and go around the corner. ok ok here we go no problems. We stayed out a little while filming, at the same time we managed to get us his name, because at the stroke can not remember :-)
's the story. At least I'm not too disappointed for visiting Beverly Hills.
Fabric Like Ferris Buellers Vest
10am we wake up. I can tell you it must be done to sleep in a car in the morning until 10am, I mean you really that comfortable.
Visit the Old Town typically English. Well it's actually a very small village that is classified State Historic Park. We really feels like a small English village to be found in the deserts with the house painted terracotta color flashes with small fountains round, of course full of small shops that sell homemade trifles.
Good said that in 1h is flared.
Then we drive to Los Angeles. As one way, we find the plugs on the road. Los Angeles is really hyper extended. So to get to our destination, it is rather long. Moreover, due to the low density of the city (very wide but very few buildings) and the extensive use of the car, is created in Los Angeles persistent cloud caused by the exhaust and industrial emissions. A little research on Wikipedia explains that once a certain threshold is exceeded, an alert is issued by the authorities of the city travel by car are then limited to the minimum necessary, and factories must stop burning hydrocarbons. That is why since 2006, the city undertook drastic measures to achieve a reduction in air pollution by at least 45% in five years in transport and equipment.
Finally we arrive at the hostel. No parking problems. Details
to park in the U.S. in large cities. If you go to hyper centers, you'll pay for sure, but several solutions: large parking (covered or not) to pay the day parking fee at the big time (do not be fooled) or so places with parking meter (1 per space parking meter or so for a portion of a street).
Then if you stray a bit to park and then you move by bus or on foot, you have streets with parking meters OR, and there it will be free, the streets that you will release a specific day in the week for a duration of 2 hours so that the city clean. There are signs indicating that on the sidewalks. If you Do not move the car, it will be shipped and of course it will cost you money.
short at the hostel we must move the car four days later between 10am and noon. So no problems. The hostel is nice, it's a house adapted to the hostel. The novelty is that there is no way to close the room key. The only security is the video surveillance system installed in the lounge and kitchen as well as the close which makes them responsible for theft in the rooms. Me I find it a little crégnosse but hey, it seems there is never any problems and we, we have not had. We then moved
we go on the bus to Hollywood Boulevard.
Nothing very special set for this street to share the Walk of Fame (stars with names of celebrities from the entertainment industry), with the famous star of stars, the Grauman's Chinese Theatre, El Capitan Theatre and the Kodak Theatre where the Oscars given annually film. So we took some photos of the stars of interest (I did not find Bill Murray). Then we start walking towards Sunset Boulevard. Well aside from the beautiful cars, hotels, restaurants, gyms luxury, there is not much either in my opinion. And then walk it's not really good alternative. Finally in the evening we return to our bus stop. On the road in front of a restaurant called'm famous, we meet the paparazzi who announce that a star is eating and they expect it so for the "shooter". So we also expect :-) Maybe this will be Madonna ... Once out, it is certainly not Madonna, but we do not know, it seems that she is here. In evening dress and of course accompanied by a man she does, after a short interview on the sidewalk, slipping into his car, driving, and more than one ... Prius (which the valet brings him). Well said, so even the stars are ecologists :-)
Finally we return to the hostel for a good night in a real bed!
Used Clothes Racks For Sale Singapore
In the morning we will take a ride to the beaches of Coronado, which are highly regarded throughout the territory of the USA. Well these are long and wide sandy beaches. Personally I find them not necessarily great, no charm. To come to the beach games, sunbathing or sleeping, of course it is luxury. Something like this type of range that we meet on the West Coast. Then we start
visit downtown San Diego. Very good feeling for this town of 1 million 300 thousand people anyway. Rather modern, clean, Front bay. Headquarters of many U.S. military installations, naval base hosts the largest naval fleet in the world. The edge of the bay, we can see several aircraft carrier (when we know that France has only one!).
After the center, we go by car northeast of the city in an immense park: Balboa Park. This park is beautiful, just find a place to park :-) Plenty of greenery, but rare plant species growing naturally in the geographic area, a zoo, monuments of English architecture with sublime fountains, pond, amphitheater ... For those interested here is the link of official site: http://www.balboapark.org
Once visited it, starting for the old town to the east. We're not really pressed then we'll sleep in the car in the parking lot and then visit the next morning. This time, preparing the car for a night "optimal". Ie the car with the sloping front of the car up so that we as horizontally as possible (and yes the seats do not recline at all), towels or tshirt on all windows for light. And it left praying not to have any problems. Good night

Grand Touring High Performance Tires
Firstly I am ashamed to have you abandoned like this before the end, but we need to say there's not much of great (original) happens to us and then decreased motivation arises from my side.
Then I'll come back quickly on what we have done for San Francisco.
First a bit of road and stop near San Jose to spend about Google and Apple. These two sites are simply composed of several campus buildings with 3 or 4 storeys high. Google's is really huge. The visit is normally prohibited, we went into the main courtyard. It's very nice. From what can be seeing the Chill employees, work is a real pleasure. For example, there bikes available to Google employees for free (we even did a short tour). The bikes are taken and we want to settle or without the tie. I read a while ago that Google has a policy of great benefit to its employees (meal provided by project staff for working ,...).
For Apple, there is clear there is nothing to see apart from the store headquarter. Morality
regarding the visit of Sylicone Valley, she remains dedicated fans will tell you :-) I've seen Apple's I'm happy.
Then head to Route 1 along the coast to Los Angeles. Passage in Santa Cruz and night in the car in Capitola. Next day again
Highway 1, crossing Big Sur, then stop in Cambria to eat a little something. In a small street, I see a little tattoo. It comes and after inspecting the scene, I decide to get this over with and I tattooed. Chosen symbol: the lily is a symbol of New Orleans and 2010 below written in Roman numerals. The place: inside of my wrist.
To finish the day, you get the tattoo in host for the night.
Lendemain Route 1. She is really beautiful. Magnificent cliffs with splendid views.
Judgement in the evening on the park's largest outlets in the region to spend the night in the car, shopping in the morning then hit the road to San Diego.
It's really starting to get used to nights in the car. It's cool because it is very economical. If we had a car in which the seats leaned completely, we might have to spend a lot more.
next day we went shopping until 15h and then hits the road. Arriving in San Diego in the evening. We spend the night in the car on a street in a neighborhood rather easy in Coronado, just across Bay versus San Diego.

What To Say In A Baby Bood
For information, I just added pictures of San Francisco.
This city is really very nice. I must say that this is the first city where I see myself living there if necessary. Each city in the USA has something wrong to my taste. This may be the climate, or else the situation, or else the population, or when lifestyle.
SF is well located, near the ocean, the climate is temperate, the people are cool (open minded), the city is beautiful in itself, etc ...
The only small problem during our visit is that they are experiencing the coldest summer since 1999. has told me that a guy on the street. Actually it's 16 degrees outside, and then there's the wind.
SF is also very famous for its fog! For now, we have not seen a single day without fog on the hills of SF. Similarly, the Golden Gate during this period is not easy to observe without fog. The warm weather arrives later in September, October.
The cable car is very well known internationally, is a kind of tram that passes the time on the hills of SF in the city center. Its uniqueness is that it uses a cable that grabs when he wants to climb the steep odds. This cable is in perpetual motion under the road (you can hear it spinning). Downhill he uses his brakes to slow down. It's very nice to take the fly.
Golden Gate is REALLY impressive! It was nice to see him on TV a million times, you really see in real life. It is huge. By cons in July and August it is not easy to see without fog. But it is also part of the bridge. And I think the fact of seeing the head in the clouds increases the feeling of grandeur.
And having built such a city as many reliefs is impressive. It is the peculiarity of San Francisco, and it's really nice.

Brent Everrett Brent Corrigan
In large cities, tight budgets, there is the couchsurfing or knowledge, or youth hostels.
To book youth hostels, a good site is www.hostelworld.com. There are probably others but this one is very widespread. There are precise details of the hostel can be booked, see the feedback, see photos, etc. ...
short, I noticed something in all the inns where we went. Whenever there is a "sticking plaster". The taping is often an individual located in common inns. This is a person who knows everything about the hostel (he knows all his secrets), the city, life on the world, metaphysics, etc. ...
Once you start talking to him, damn it for you, it starts and never stops until you paste it to another, like a double-sided tape that you try to exit the right hand with his left hand.
The tape is not bad at all, on the contrary, it looks so good they dare not say "good is good me loose a bit."
With a little experience you get to the spot before you even ask him a question. It what happens now, and fortunately for us here in San Francisco because it looks to be a great champion :-)

Pinnacle 3010ix Losing Channels
(this is the second post placed in the day)
Tonight we are behind a shopping area, about 5m from the highway. Noise level so I do not do artwork ...
During our tour, we will all come with our attempts to save a night in a motel: heat wave, cold, noise, paradise, back to school. Good
each time, a little fear before sleep compared with the risk of being piss, and once asleep, no problem overnight.
Towards the end of our journey, it becomes a habit to find a correct location, ask the car, illuminating the place, mount the tent, throw all the stuff inside (sleeping bag, mattress, pillow), park the car so as to hide the tent. The right is now in less than 3min.
So there it went exactly the opposite of what I said. 2min after writing these lines, a car is approaching us and lightning. Then a guy equipped with a flash lamp us from the other side and asks us to open the tent. And we slept almost shit! I open the tent, and then a sheriff. We hello, we request our passports, asked us if we have objects like weapons, drugs or other with us. Then ask us to leave the tent. And there is a total of 3 cars sheriff who are there and therefore we welcome three sheriff as if we were terrorists. "You sit on the hood!" we launched the little fat. It is also not very hot outside, I'm in shorts and Xavier Calcon. The day before I had slept through oilp lazy to fetch the Calcon, fortunately this time I planned the shot :-).
short little control, little examination, and then he asks us to leave. It is 23:30, and we must look elsewhere. After 45min
research car, we decided to sleep in the car in a parking lot, at least it's not complicated and there are no problems.
The next day, sleep again in the tent at the entrance of a field. At night everything is fine but the day we are a very visible from the street. The night went well but the next morning, again the police who arrived in three cars. Yet after little control, they leave us and go all rembaler :-)
Where To Find Ferris Bueller Vest
So here we are in Yosemite! One of the most famous parks in the USA. We're getting there verd 9am. Our mission is to find a campground that has more room (I recall that today is Friday), then get a permit to sleep in the mountains, and finally obtain a permit to climb Half Dome on the weekend (they are limited to 400 people this part because it is the final climb and hikers should help cable).
Well then, first point of camping reservation, of course, no seats arranged so they put us on the waiting list, we're 31st. We need to return to 15h checker if there were cancellations or not. I smell a rat ... We're going to another camp, Camp 4. This one is a "first Arrived, first served" so we can get lucky. It is 10am, we reach the tail. 2 people in front of us, means that there is 4 places. Phew! We reserve 2 nights, $ 5 per night per person, it's okay. We will share the site with other people (6 max). The ranger informed us all safety rules vis-à-vis the bear: empty the car of any food or drink other than plain water, shut all in metal cases present across the foot of the trail and the campsites.
Then the visitor center for management licenses. "Absolutely impossible," we run the store, "they are already long gone, so for this weekend damn it." Good damage, the Half Dome, so it will be for Monday, we have time we'll stay a little longer here. We return to the campsite.
After pitching the tent, we leave for a hike to 9 miles round trip with a certain climb: Yosemite Falls to Yosemite Point. Truly impressive waterfall seen from below. Not seeing the top of the head of the waterfall, we really wonder where does all that water. It is a sacred feeling. And in this valley we can see several waterfalls that.
Boxing Day we plan to make a longer hike. It will be the Omstread Lake. It is 13 miles round trip. The hike in itself is not really great but it ended up on a beautiful lake. Last 3 miles (very long walking) as horrific attack by mosquitoes to the car.
On Sunday we decided to FINALLY make a day of rest and quiet in the Mariposa Grove aprem go to see the giant sequoias. The trees are truly impressive for sure, but cons include not arrive too late, because there is a small trail to do.
Finally on Monday we leave for the long awaited Half Dome. Well there's another level: 1450m of elevation gain, and 22 km round trip. On top of that, I have two good blisters on heels two steps because of false converse in Las Vegas. So walking was painful, but good. The finish is really impressive. Obliged to hold onto a cable not to slip. To look on the net because not easy to explain.
Regarding camping, every night we had a visit from a bear. In this case we do a lot of noise and throw something on the face. And he leaves quietly without any problem. Another thing, the squirrels are camping just to look like rats thieves.

Thank you all for your comments. It feels good indirectly have news from France. I love it!
Annie you are the number one on the podium, you have a small gift from the U.S. :-)
anyway thank you to the regulars who will recognize.
Yosemite happens, do not worry, it's just that I'm a bit dead yet. It was stuffed with so much trail in 4 days I'm a little tired.
Otherwise I start to feel strongly to make me a small tattoo on the kick when we're in LA. I thought a nice little eagle, with perhaps a date camouflage (I will not copy dad but I do not really have any other ideas that may be a symbol of the USA, and I do not want flags). Good going
kisses to all

Diagram Of A Old Camera
Before talking about this huge and beautiful park in which we are for 3 days (Yosemite), I'd like a little bit about the national parks aus USA. Because I think we have no equivalent in France.
We went to see a representation (short film reviews +) one of the most famous climbers in the park. It is called: Ron Kauk. Maybe this name will say something to the specialists in this field.
Well during this performance, I Chill another dimension, another thing that brings the park, may be unconsciously. It educates us, us accountable vis-à-vis nature. Here the term sustainable development finds its meaning: prevention, youth outreach, recycling, education but also punishment. It makes us realize how fragile nature is, how a banal gesture for humans can have dramatic consequences for her, but also how it can be dangerous. The park takes you into the bowels of this nature by trying to give the wildest.
examples for you to understand. On
bears, they could very well put pens down around campgrounds parks or at least solve the trespassing problem bears at night, but NO, after all they are at home, then joggers educate people by explaining to clear any food or drink of cars during the night and put everything in boxes and special metal that close. In addition, during an invasion, which happened almost every night during our short stay, the joggers their scare shot rubber bullets (balls made of rubber) to make them understand not to return, like an animal that would mark its territory.
Another example relates to the squirrels, simply to let them approach you with "oh he's cute!" (I also understand this behavior) makes them vulnerable as they leave now approaching more easily perhaps other predators. Also, the fact of infants makes them dependent on our food, our waste. And squirrels from our campsite (Camp 4) became for me in rats. There are basically thieves and even rabid.
I also realized that the moments that I could pass in nature brought me a lot. I think the barn of my grand-mother deep in the Pyrenees, sports that I could do in nature, particularly as the internship Cauteret with a mountain guide (Jean-Louis Lechene) that we took him camping in the middle of nowhere in the mountains with the cows, sheep and marmots, and all other experiences that my parents were able to make me live. I think this may be an explanation for my taste for solitude at times. Sometimes I take pleasure in finding myself alone and enjoy the moment, in the midst of an unknown place, with or without anyone around, city or wilderness, and hear the sound or even silence me nearby, watching the stillness or slowness of nature, and reflect on my life, what makes me happy ...
Brief appreciate this kind of places that can enable people to take conscience of the world in which they live. Not being a writer I hope that the message I wanted to convey is :-)
past
Tomorrow I am talking about our adventures in Yosemite Park Narional which is one of the most prestigious U.S..
Mens Green Unitard Chicago
wake up glimpse of Lake Mary, which is very pretty.
Proceed to Mono Lake and Bodie. Branch
the visitor center as usual to obtain information on the surroundings. We choose to start with Bodie that closes earlier.
Bodie is an old mining town isolated in the mountains about thirty miles from Mono Lake. We call these small towns with wooden houses, ghost towns. Indeed, they were built and settled as quickly as they were dropped. All because of the gold that drew in the second Moitiers 19th century, poker cheats, the bar girls and desperadoes.
Bodie in particular has been partially restored, because as you can imagine the wooden structures are not eternal. Throughout the city and its surroundings are currently classified State Park. :-) While this means a preserved but $ 7 per person + $ 2 for a small 4-page prospectus for guidance.
Good visit is nice but no more, no visit to the small factory which allowed the extraction of gold, no visit to the mine, and no visits to the houses. We see only the outside. It's still a mini whole city that we see: the church, saloon, factory, housing, bank, hotel, fire station, jail (what's left ) school. Go
we will not spend the after noon here. Descending to the Mono Lake. This time we take a different route to a range just outside the park. For a good fifteen miles, we are entitled to a dusty road and dented. And in those moments is rather nice to not have his own car ...
A little later we arrived at the lake. Old over 700 000 years, it is one of the oldest in the USA. It occupies a basin in an upland area hostile semi-desert. In the background we can see the snowy peaks of the Sierra Nevada. If the lake is also famous in large part for its amazing limestone concretions (13000 years old) who stand on the banks and out of the water, like eternal sentinels. Formed under the surface of the water, they have gradually been exposed when the lake level has dropped. This level drops rapidly since the 60s because of water diversions to cities like Los Angeles, avid consumer of drinking water. Another peculiarity
its salinity is very high. There was no shower or even taps to wash so we were not tempted to dive but it seems that its salinity is comparable to the Dead Sea.
short, it is 20h and we have to take the road to Yosemite. But first we must absolutely buy somewhere a gas bottle for our little kitchen. We decided to stop in a kind of large gas station / restaurant. And obviously there's a party! In the garden, a small concert stage with a band playing rock / country, just ahead filled with people dancing badly but the pace, and then thirty tables filled. Just returned, we are told "there's good beef, good music, you'll have fun!". Besides the fact that there were no canisters here and that everything (ie the other supermarket nearby) would be closed, we decided to stay and eat and taste the atmosphere. Indeed there is good food but a bit expensive, so we stick to the hotdog and slice of pizza before Xavier, with a little culo gratis arrives to negotiate a dish that had not been recovered by the owner. Dining
we talk to a couple a little hippy ultra nice (she is a singer in small parties, he used a small ski shop, they sleep in their pickup). They give us advice to bivouac in the corner. Finally we
reprennons the road before stopping 10 minutes later near the road to sleep.

Stonewall Kitchen Donut Recipes
(there are other posts for this day, see below)
Wake surprise as usual because we arrive at night. We're in the middle of a rock formation shaped balls all over each other.
morning hike on Mount Whitney Trail, but we stopped at Lone Pine Lake at an altitude of 3017m, 400m above the start. For hikers, I announce that there really is enough to make in this region.
I recall that Mount Whitney is, without taking account of Alaska, the highest peak in the USA from its height of 4418m.
I recall also that the day we were at the lowest point of the USA (the backpacker even announces the lowest in the northern hemisphere but there is a doubt). It's not funny?
After 4 miles of climbing, we reach the lake. It is really beautiful. The water is clear. Facing the lake here is the closest to farthest what we see: the blue water of the lake, then on the other side of some rocks, then the blue sky above it. It makes me a bit reminiscent of a swimming pool with views over the valley. Corner is also very green, with these huge conifer trunk up to 4 or 5 meters in circumference.
After a nap upstairs, forced back down because we do not have the necessary permit to either go higher or camping in the park.
In the afternoon we return to Mammoth Lakes where we find a campsite. It is called: Coldwater campground. It is right next to Lake Mary. This corner is really sumptuous this is hiking, boating, camping, mountain biking, horseback riding.
We even made a small fire unhurriedly eating our noodles. Super nice. For cons the night was very cold and we had curd loaves :-) I have a duvet that heralds a comfort limit to 6 degrees, then it is actually down below, either because they tell tall tales and even jogging sweater j ' I was cold. Good teeth are served and it passes.

In the evening we go to Las Vegas towards Death Valley (Death Valley). Failing to have been the arrival of night, and our clients departure. In addition, after we had the wrong road we must again return to LV. And actually it's very impressive how we feel the divide between the black desert and this huge city lit dominated by the immense building of the strip (main street). Rolling
night, we hasten to find a spot to bivouac. Top'd be found somewhere a little cooler, because more than 40 degrees in the tent, we did it once and it means.
Luckily, we take the altitude and the temperature begins to drop. When the thermometer reaches 30 degrees, we decided to stop at first little nook. Nikel and we find what we need. While there, you may be saying that I lied but it's super cool, perfect temperature to sleep :-)
Next morning, woken by the sun, yes we has still forgotten to think and to position the tent properly. Breakfast and departure for Death Valley.
Arrival around 11am. We begin with the view Dantes View to see the valley from above. Okay so here we are, in my ignorance I somehow betrayed because I really fancied a flat desert of sight over 360 degrees, but no, it's actually a huge valley that stretches towards NordWest -SouthEast. Well this is still impressive. And then when the temperature ... Then head
Badwater is this time in the middle of this valley. Why this name? Well because at the time, when people trying to live the scene, the water was too salty and so the mules could not refuel. Here, there is the lowest place in the USA in terms of altitude:-85.5m to be exact. Here is a salt desert that ancient lakes have dropped. The ground is white. We walked a little more toward the center of this desert story to go where all the tourists are not going basis to take pictures and shoot a little. Well the heat is overwhelming: a good 53 degrees. To be 200 or 300m we finished a bottle of 1.5l of water. Indeed, in addition to the sun beating down like a mule, there is also reflected rays by salt. Pfff this is an oven.
On the way back, passing through a loop called Artist's Palette where we can see the rock formations of different colors: red, pink, yellow iron, green, purple, violet for mica. Passage also
Ubehebe Crater, which for a visit he inflicts is not really interesting. Then at Scotty's Castle, whose history of its origin is very original (I leave you to find it). And to finish before taking the road to follow, we go to Sand Dunes dune area which is in the middle of desert.
I did not mention our meals around 15h in the shade of a palm tree that was really hard for us not to boil water.
And then casually in 2 days we will have done more than 600km.
short to dusk, we took the road towards Sequoia National Park. But when, in Lone Pine, we realize the huge detour that we're going to do, our plan is questioned. In this park we can see huge redwoods (the most majestic), ok, but it seems there is also south of Yosemite, so good ...
If you look on a map, you will see the valley in which we (the city found there are Lone Pine, Big Pine, Independence, Bishop, Mammoth Lakes ...) and the valley on the other side of the mountain which is west of us (Sequoia National Park, Yosemite National Park, Mount Whitney ...).
So what? Make a detour to get around 280miles to the south and climb this mountain on the Sequoia Park, or stay in this valley and to Mount Whitney, Mammoth Lakes, Mono Lake and then go to Yosemite. Ultimately this will be option number 2.
Here we are right next to Mount Whitney, so we decide to bivouac just above "cool" and make a small trail in the morning. As

Pokemon Leaf Green Controls For Mac
I'm promised .......... and I ........ :-) I bet won and I won 2 times 2 times. Gain: $ 40. I used the technique (perhaps homemade but hey everyone needs to know it because it's very simple) I told you about in previous blog. While some say that I was lucky. Okay, but this chance I lai when provoked playing these specific times.
Good with the money I just won, I'll go to the rollercoaster of the hotel where I am, NewYork NewYork. I started typing this blog in the queue until it forces me to put the phone in the locker. Indeed I was told that shortly before, during looping, someone took the camera to another in the teeth, and of course the person has turned against the hotel.
It happens like that here you know. With the system of "social security" that is expensive, the technique during a glitch is to do a trial to be dédomager.
Good then I change my story hotel to visit a bit and play again later. And yes you can see, this game is addictive! I might be losing everything, but I too want to take the risk ;-) I returned to MGM. The spectacle inside. There is even a huge glass cage in the middle of machines with lions inside. When I go there are two guys trying to play them (I hope that the lions had already eaten and they know what they do). I painfully over the area of slot machines and I come to the wheels. Above each wheel, and that's how all the casinos, you can see the latest numbers came out. I want a good series of the same color. There is no good for the moment, it does not matter I still around and I see .... 10min later than 5 numbers out of the same color on it where I can see a group of large Ricans play. I go quietly and wait the next round ... "YES! More of the same color!" Go now I take my courage in two hands, I go out of pocket $ 20 and I queue at Croutier. I throw the 20 on the other color ................. AC turns .............. it turns ......... YES!! I double the bet. 20 more. Good tired of waiting every time I replay over parts of the grid (from 1 to 12 or 13 to 24, etc.). Well I do this two times, and I lost two times. I just lost my 20 previously earned ... I leave the table to another that has a series with the same color. With the same principle I go .... and I returned $ 20! I feel better then I try again parts of the grid. Well I lost it again my 20. There I swear never to do that my technique of thunder (and Ben is not easy). I finally left the table, I go around in stretch my legs, and I come back again. BAM! I go back! This time I go live. Total earnings for today: $ 60. Not bad?
Bideos De Mexicanas Famosas Cachondas
Outside, the streets are filled day and night. A crazy world. There really are all in styles: whites, blacks, Asians, Arabs, Indians ... It comes from the world. Among them we can see families, couples, groups of friends but also vagrants, Mexicans by the hundreds along with trotoirs tshirt of the "free girl for you in 20 minutes" slamming small pamphlets in their hands before they pounce on you to give them, people dressed as heroes or celebrities or famous people, and so on.
What is shocking is how people are dressed here. I recall that over 45 • c, so it's a furnace, if I could I would be Calcon. The vast majority are dressed in formal attire, even at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, ie, in jeans and a shirt for men and evening dress for women. 98% of chicks are drawn by 4 pins. It is the culture of appearances. So they are actually very nice, but from what I saw, most of the girls are either guys frica, is looking for guys frica, and in the latter case, they are capable of anything. Well clearly I do not see myself as ottomans that are there to snap under the point of pushing a smicar suicide. For guys it's the same thing. "But see Rudy, do not generalize like that!"
Small description of a basic hotel here in Vegas.
Arrival at the hotel chosen, already good from the outside is beautiful for sure, there is nothing to say you have to see. It's huge, it's beautiful, every hotel has its particularity, such as Caesars Palace has decorations of the Roman era. One can also see a giant fountain in the Bellagio, a Tower Effeil scale 1 / 2 and Arc de Triomphe for Paris, a Statue of Liberty and a coaster from the hall for the New York-New York is so big that several entries are available, and even hotels can communicate with each other. In every hotel there is of course a valet service. The cars are all waiting for their garage one more luxurious than others.
I'm heading towards an entrance, I pass the double glass doors or revolving doors with 4 compartments which serve as thermal insulation. Ah ! Finally a bearable temperature ... Then in general the hotel is for you to put the mug in the slot machines. There are an incredible number! It may be several hundred. To this we must add the poker tables, roulette, blackjack, strip poker with gonsesses dancing nearly naked in cages, etc ... If you manage to pass the interminable game area, you can explore the avenues of shops decorated in the style that matches the hotel. Here I see a false ceiling representing the sky, immense and magnificent fountains that mimic those of ancient times, fronts for stores with columns or sculptures or paintings. Short of the almost perfect reproduction.
game in Las Vegas
Well I'm not an expert on casino gambling, so I'll give my Chill. As far as I know there are going to say 2 types of games, those with technical and those based on chance. I who know nothing, I am more attracted by the roulette wheel (you know the ball falling on the spinning wheel and the numbers 1 to 36 red and black). Then combined, it must be 3 or 4 hours I watch others play because I'm too afraid of losing $ 20 ... I do not want to bullshit, I'm trying to find a strategy but I think there's not much to to do there. The only idea I have for now is to wait at least 5 or 6 outlets of the same color and bet on the other. The lower odds of falling once again on the same color (the probability to 100 times the red is almost zero, the probability of one red and one black is greater). Incidentally I inform you that casino games are all based on laws of probability. All games are planned such that it relates to the casino in the long term (10000 paries of the client). Absolutely nothing is left to chance as you might think. This means that an expert in probability is more likely to win an average person.
short I return to my table I see for a while. Here people of passages slam hundreds of dollars as if nothing had happened. I even see a guy drop $ 1,000 on the table from his pocket as I get out of coins of 10 cents ... Pffff it's another world. There are also chicks who are married to their jumping and laughing like little girls asking for hundreds of dollars to waste.
That said, we must live it to understand it, becaufe it is easily to this kind of game
Well finally, here is the spectacle.
Good to go, tomorrow I'll try the wheel, I promise.

Dune Buggy Two Seat Plans Free
Arrive late afternoon at Bryce Canyon. We are always with our colleagues, with whom we will still spend the next two days.
We had planned to bivouac for the night. Finally we found a campsite with vacancies at the entrance of the park. The campground inside the park were full them, but despite the fact they are cheaper, they are also of poorer quality (no showers, no washing machines).
Anyway, we for 4 with 2 tents, therefore, we share the price of the site, This is back to $ 7.75.
RAS for the evening.
Next morning up at dawn to sunrise at Sunrise Point observed (there are also at the Sunset Point for the sunset). Nice point of view of course but I preferred to sleep. In fact I find rocks rather than red like those of Bryce, the bed is more suitable. Let me explain: Watch a sunset or raised, not just visual, other senses are also utilized. Hearing (animals, cars, people ...). Odors also are not the same in the morning and evening. Finally the temperature, I found these red rocks observe is a warm color, is more suitable with a temperature hot too. So a cool sunrise, it means. Brief each his own.
Then back to camp and sleep until 9.
Depart for hike around 11:30. We will Fairryland the Loop Trail. Rather nice in the middle of this amazing landscape consists of stacks of rocks red shapes are always different, trees with most of their roots above ground level (which illustrates the phenomenon of erosion due to rain) . About
erosion, this phenomenon is responsible for the sterilization of old forest areas by waves of deforestation. The rain water runs off without any restraint on private land vegetation, taking everything in its path (humus. ..). That is why deforestation is a huge scourge if no replanting is undertaken. Good and then for our lunar landscapes, but also a explanation of the scarcity of vegetation.
After the hike, swimming pool at the campsite, then this will be grilled on the barbecue for the evening with wood picked up a little further away. Great to eat a little Gammon, and then make a fire.
Next morning, hike quiet named Queens. Indeed, with a lot of imagination, one can see une reine de profil avec sa robe au sommet d'une des cheminées.
Aprem tranquile, route vers Las Vegas. Nuit prévue en bivouac sur le bord de la route.

Laundry Clip Art Images
(il y a d'autres post pour cette journée, voir en dessous)
De notre tente, l'entrée du parc est à moins d'un kilomètre, donc une fois levé nous y filons afin de pouvoir réserver notre emplacement de camping.
Une fois sur les lieux, pas de problèmes pour la place. Nous avons même le choix. On s'installe, on va d'enregistrer, payer comme je vous avez expliqué, puis retour sur l'emplacement pour monter la tente. À ce moment là, deux jeunes français nous demandent of money to pay their location. They offered to share our site that is sufficiently large. Jerome and Endrick are Chamonix and Toulon. With
Xav we leave around noon to a trek of 4 hours. This is the Angel Landing. 450m vertical drop, with a final march on a ridge, forced to take a string Express installed, and a magnificent view.
an aside, all these canyons can be explained by several phenomena. First, over 2 billion years, this area has seen several seas, deserts and mountains taller than the Himalayas. All the sand that is found by that is essentially maritime source. Mixed to sediments, it has gradually agglomerate and eventually turn into sandstone and shale. Then it's time for phenomena such as plate tectonics, erosion due to rain and the rivers that dig rock. Depending on the hardness of soil, some areas are cut, others do not. And so we get this kind of exceptional landscape.
back to our sheep, the top small cheese sandwich-type cow laughs, good cheese that stinks costs skin ..... Then
descent and quiet evening with our friends at the campsite.
Next morning we go for a second hike with them, basically a canyon, feet in water. The trek is called The Narrows. As its name suggests, we at the bottom of a deep and narrow canyon. 4:30 for the waterfront and even often completely in passages approaching over canyoning
:-) Finally in lapped noon we hit the road to Bryce Canyon.

Gay Pick Up Spots Columbus Ohio
Here are some photos of our new acquisition. It is a field of 142 X 160 feet on Cedar Street. Attention private road! It's very cute environment with birds, flowers ... and then we have direct access to the Richelieu River. We are only a few kilometers from the U.S. border and Lake Champlain. What we offer beautiful weekends in perspective. This Sunday, we explored our new kayaking area.
