Meteor Junction, Arizona.
01-Apr-12where to buy cytotec no prescription There was no room at the inn at the Grand Canyon, so after spending the day there I headed for Flagstaff, which had a youth hostel.

23-Mar-12I woke up the next morning and headed north along the river. I saw the Parker Dam, visually uninspiring though an important piece of American infrastructure: the dam was built by the notorious William Mulholland to supply water for Los Angeles. I had recently read Marc Reisner’s Cadillac Desert and found myself generally unsympathetic; the […]
