June 7 Phoenix, AZ to Grand Canyon, AZ

    We started our day with a ride through Phoenix. We went to see the capital of Arizona; a beautiful building full of history and interesting artifacts. After driving through the The University of Arizona (ASU) we went on a short hike up a picturesque hill to discover the "Hole in the Rock" - a small opening in the side of the cliff overlooking a beautiful desert oasis. On top, we took a picture in front of the hole! We cooled off at the Scottsdale Fashion Square mall and had some time for lunch and shopping.

    We contiued along our journey and stopped to take photos of the beautiful rock formations and desert landscapes in Sedona, AZ. We also had some time to browse in the small shops around Sedona. When we finally arrived in Williams, AZ, where our hotel is located, we settled in and had fun playing soccer, basketball, and tennis in the outdoor courtyard. We finished the day eating a classic American dinner outside our hotel, watching the sunset over the unique landscape. What a fantastic start to our adventure!
