Swollen Ankles From Hives

BEATTY


August 7 2010
Here now the rain, such as rocks, has become a constant!
This morning the alarm clock at 6:30, but as soon as I get up and open the door the storm looming over us and force us to change our plans. An hour of lightning, thunder and heavy rain and then everything ends and we are reaching the stop for the shuttle that will take us inside the park, where we also breakfast.

not that time has made the beautiful, but at least it does not rain! The shuttle is the only means of transport allowed in Zion and of course its races are frequent. Indeed do not expect much to get on this, the transport complete with trailer, driven by a ranger who, while driving, it gives a lot of information on the formation of these majestic mountains looming over the valley, giving the names of biblical origin (it means Zion Sion) data from the Mormon pioneers.
As in other parks visitors discover the canyons from above, here the opposite happens: you start admiring the way down her throat and then go up.


While we have breakfast in the elegant Zion Lodge starts raining and then we decide to get off the shuttle's last stop and walk Riverside Walk, a path that runs along the Virgin River.








If there was good weather would continue to walk in the river bed, with feet in the water, but will next time!
course walk with the umbrella open and come down the path we see that some brave can go further.








Giusi there and I have the satisfaction of put your feet in water and then all at once we take the way back, stopping to photograph a squirrel that seems to pose for us, perhaps hoping to be able to get something in return, but here it is strictly forbidden to feed the animals, worth a hefty fine.








then go back to Springdale, a town to stay in and pull a nap and a walk at night. Here it is easy to chat with people. Many people know Italy because there are already too often sketch a few words of Italian.
We like to hear: "Have a good day, ladies"


and the rain
