"we'll be landing in Lisbon in 25 minutes..." - The captain makes his last announcement before landing... For me this sounded much more like a "welcome back to reality"... Wait a minute... How did I get to that point?... Well, I spent another 3 weeks traveling through some of the US national parks I still did not know... In a heartbeat, I've experienced the highs in Rocky Mountain, seen a bit of every other park with a twist of Iceland and almost got ran over by a bison in Yellowstone, stood in the same place as Ansel Adams in the snake river overlook at the Grand Tetons, looked up in Arches, looked down in Canyonlands, chased the fading light in the Monument Valley, met ancient spirits in Mesa Verde, struggled for finding my own vision of the Great Sand Dunes (and probably failed) and touched the sky at Pikes Peak...

I needed this... Forgetting what weekday it was... Being far... 3 weeks, more than 6000 km, 75 rolls of film, more than 100 4x5 sheets... No cell phone, almost no Internet... And unfortunately no blog posts with details...
