Grand Canyon is usually what comes to my mind when I think of Western USA. I have seen it only in movie and game material, but never really experienced it. After TC17, a friend of mine at Tableau, An, asked me if I wanna do a rim to rim crossing of Grand Canyon, I gladly accepted the offering :) My other friend Fez was really interested in the hiking too; so he flew all the way from Seattle to Las Vegas to join us.

I just had a dreamy trip with my family to Yunnan over the weekend. My Dad's friend, after retiring, opened a hotel called Mistry Mountain there:

The hotel is right cross the Lugu Lake, in the morning you can enjoy the peaceful sunrise:
