South Dakota
We had great expectations with South Dakota, we all have seen Mount Rushmore, some of us have heard about Black Hills or the Needles or Badlands… and I tell you, we weren’t disappointed!! What a neat journey! The reception wasn’t that good as far as weather is concerned… tremendous torrential rain couple of hours before…

Idaho and Wyoming
To be fair Idaho is quite a state which deserves to be seen and enjoyed as much as any other state, but honestly speaking being so close to Yellowstone National Park ( actually 1% of the park is in Idaho, 3% in Montana and 96% in Wyoming) which was our main destination, we thought it…

Utah
Oh my Goodness!! What is this!!! We all have seen pictures of it, some of us have watched movies about it but one thing is to see it like that and a very different thing is to see it for real…. what a beautiful state. Here’s when you confirm that Mother Nature has seemingly received…

Arizona
Arizona!!! This is going to be magnificent! The Grand Canyon, The Monument, Sedona, Flagstaff, Horse Shoe, more state parks, etc,etc. Simply spectacular. It was the longest drive so far!! 7 hour drive, 3 stops at Rest Areas (finally Rest Areas start to appear!!), 360 miles of up and down roads. Also, heat is now among…

New Mexico
I was told that New Mexico was going to be a state full of surprises, particularly surprises granted by Mother Nature; and certainly it was!! Right after we left Oklahoma (I mean… Texas and the Cadillac Ranch visit) we headed to Taos and it was notorious how geography changes in a few miles and finally…

Oklahoma
Yes!! If you’re seeing this is because we’re back on the road!! After 4 long months back home in Europe, it was time to start the American Expedition # 2. This time we’re planning on visiting 5 or 6 more states, and the exciting part is that we’re leaving behind the plain / flat states…

Texas
We had been pretty lucky with the weather in the previous states prior to getting to Texas….. Arkansas was blue, cloudless skies; Alabama, and Mississippi were hot and dry, and Louisiana was enjoying much of the same, but Texas has been rainy, chilly, cloudy and overcast. Not only that!! Tornadoes in sight!! (more of this…

Louisiana
Louisiana…Louisiana….. We knew this state was going to be special; home of Jazz, authentic Cajun cuisine, home of the famous Tabasco sauce and sadly a witness of an act that is an embarrassment for the humanity: slavery. The journey from Mississippi to Louisiana was uneventful but spoiled by the fact that all camping parks in…

Mississippi
We have been enjoying beautiful weather in the southern states whereas I heard that some of the areas in the north, are getting snow already. So, after leaving the great Gulf Shores National Park, we headed to Mississippi!! And because we were already enjoying the views of the shores of the Gulf of Mexico, we…
