We interrupt our regular schedule of tv reviews (despite the season finale of one and the season begin of another of my favourite shows) to point out that it is October 2nd, which means I can upload to Photobucket again. Which means I can post the second half of my trip through the American West. Not all at once, because those reviews are burning on my nails as well, but two installments today. In chronological order: Xanadu Hearst Castle (aka San Simeon), Las Vegas and Bryce Canyon for this post, Utah with Canyonland, Dead Horse's Park and Arches Park in the next.
