After listening to locals and some serious googling on where and how to properly celebrate the Independence Day of the US, our choice fell on the deserted town of Grants, New Mexico. Despite local warnings of the small town, it certainly presented a much anticipated piece of America, as it hosted the Wild West Days Rodeo. The show definitely kept us entertained with attractions ranging from Cowgirl Barrel Racing to the good ol´ Bull Riding. Struck by the charming western spirit, we even considered joining the advertised Dance at the Cow Palace later that night. Realizing the probable attendants would surpass our age by a couple of generations, we buckled up once more in our fierce Expedition and hit the dusty road, taking us to Flagstaff, Arizona.
In short, the celebration of the The Glorious Fourth continued in Flagstaff as it should with Italian dinner, live Latin American music, some pool and clubbing. God bless America!
May be start some rodeo with reindeers in Norway.
Lovely to hear from you again. Glad you did’nt join the Dance at the Rodeo-event. That would have been a sight – my six favorite boys doing square-dance with american “grandmas”.
Seems like you had a lot of fun all the same.
And how was Flagstaff? Any photos from there? When are you going to hit Las Vegas?
Hope you’re managing the heat all right. It’s +40C in Vegas!!!!!!!!!!!
And Martin; It’s OK to call or SMS your mum – I’ll reimburse you later.
Have a fabulos onward journey.
med så mange opplevelser føler jeg det er på tide å bryte ned noe av den gode harmonien. NFL Network bekrefter at Brett Favre har kjøpt hus i Minnesota… hahahaha.
På den “hi” siden så tror jeg det blir utrolig artig å følge Vikings den kommende sesongen (mer enn før)..
Mye ekte amerikanere der ja! Sikkert temmelig bred aksent på de fleste dere møter nå om dagen. Må ha vært en fantastisk måte å feire 4th of July på. Blir sikkert mer standard amerikansk i Vegas igjen. Hils Erlend (Hadland) om dere skal møte han…
ps. er ikke farlig å sitte på den fulle tribunen heller :p
Å ja, en ting til…
Stoppet dere i Gallup og stilte noen spørsmål?
Fikk kort fra NC/Waco i dag med NC hotness. Takk 😉
(Tar ca en uke med posten da…?)
Thanks for the postcard from supposedly from the “middle of nowhere”
Though, apparently by your definition, NC.
Haha!
