Last time we have been wandering (and wondering) around the deserts of Utah. These lands are only the beginning of vast areas of south western United States that are extremely dry and with minimal vegetation. Yet some parts of these lands are densely populated and are in constant need of, among other things, water and …
I hope you did read it right. It’s time for desert and not dessert. Although I must admit desserts are far more tasty. We are now far from Mt Rushmore, in the state of Utah – officially nicknamed as the Beehive state. In order to get there we had to cross the great natural barrier …
No, this is not the headlines of another boring politicians’ meeting in on of the world’s posh resorts. It means rather that it is about time to see the next monument!! I think many of you have heard about this one (as opposed to the Crazy Horse). The heads of state – it is the …

When you are in central New Hampshire there is an attraction that is a must-see even if you are not a huge fan of mountains. Behold: Mt Washington!! It is the highest peak in New England. But the height of 1917m doesn’t make it famous. It is the unpredictable weather that made the peak known …
