Reminding us of what's important and where our priorities are and should be. It makes us feel small, yet a bigger part of the universe around us.

La excusa de una graduación para realizar un viaje en coche por el oeste de Estados Unidos hacia la Falla de San Andrés y el Gran Cañón del Colorado. Todo empezó cuando mi sobrina Laura que vive cerca de Dallas, me propuso ir a la graduación de mi otra sobrina Rebeca, que vive en los Ángeles. Claro que eso solamente fue la chispa que encendió el fuego de una aventura mayor: visitar el Gran Cañón del Colorado.
