Travel America 15/30 May 2010.
How many times as a child, I heard my grandparents and my uncles say the word America. Then they said, simply, speaking of a friend or relative, "is the Andes in America" \u200b\u200b(he went to America). America was for many, the land of promise, hope for a better life. So they went away on a ship, stacked in the holds or as hubs. Travel terrible today, unfortunately, are experimenting with non-EU citizens who come to Italy or other countries looking for the so-called luck. Today, I am the grandson of these such uncles and grandparents, I went to America, but comfortably sitting on a giant plane, then carriage driving coach with a lot of driving with good knowledge of Italian, or, in some cases, she Italian . Of the things I heard there is nothing left. Now, everywhere, of course I'm talking about places where we've been together, we found luxury and excess waste. The emotions that I thought I could try tapping "the California Gold Rush of the distant 1848" I have not heard. Now all is advertising and business. You will say, "what did you expect? Johnn To see Wayne, who came to accompany your care?" Yeah, you right, I'm an incurable romantic. better find out now that America, or rather the "United States" are those that monster.
first stop in San Francisco , Alta California. W. James Marshall on January 24 of 1848 made the famous discovery of the glittering nugget that led, after the well-known gold rush. Now San Francisco is a beautiful and exciting city. Its hills, Victorian houses, suspension bridges including the famous Golden Gate Bridge and the tram that climb the hills, form a majestic backdrop. Solo climbing at Twin Peaks (viewpoint), one realizes the beauty of this city, although the climate, to be honest, not really ideal for us Italians. Too cold and too much fog, much more than us.
Twin Peaks, a wonderful vantage point to see San Francisco.
The Golden Gate is the suspension bridge that crosses the opening of the bay of San. Francisco in the Pacific Ocean. Its construction began in 1933, although they began to talk and to design in 1917. Was open only to pedestrian traffic, May 27, 1937
Chinatown district, where he established a Chinese community. Signs in Chinese, balloons, colorful costumes that differ from the rest of the city suggest its being in China 
Monterey, located on ' ocean not far from the arid hills of California where the cold currents coming down from Alaska have transformed the coast. Here the 0ceano is full of all marine species (seals, sharks, turtles, etc ...) and the seabed is rich in algae which is extracted from a kind of paste of toothpaste.
Carmel-By-the-Sea , sometimes called simply Caramel is a small city \u200b\u200bwith a rich artistic history situated on the Monterey Peninsula. It was the first capital of California and is now a charming town with beautiful gardens and green areas.
Muir Woods, the small National Park with its majestic redwoods. 
Las Vegas, "Sin City" Sin City "is difficult to make a comment, I can only say that I did not confer any emotion. Although, I must admit, alcunispettacoli, such as the fountains dance to music and watching the lights in Fremont Street are really exciting. 
Zion National Park was established in 1909, before the area was covered by the sea, then crossed the great river's surface. Strong desert winds have completed the work. The show that we see today is made up of rocks formed by gravel, sand, mud, silt, sandstone, limestone that, layer by layer, you are cemented and secured one above the other in orderly succession. 
Deaht Valley. This place is famous for being the one to lower altitude in North America, to 85.5 meters below sea level. Every single place of Death Valley seems to belong to a different world. Perhaps it was this fascination that led thousands of people groped to establish stable communities in this land forsaken by God, but was a failure because nature had no mercy. 
Bryce Canyon is a small national park located in the southwestern U.S. state of Utah. It 'a protected area. The famous Bryce Canyion, despite its name, is not actually a canyon but a huge amphitheater originated by erosion of wind and water. 
Arches National Park. This town is unique in the world, is located in southwest Utah. Over 2,000 of these wonders of nature, natural rock arches, stands in an area of \u200b\u200b29,500 hectares. While approaching from both north and south, you see before a desert of red, then, As you get closer you can see some rock formations which become increasingly distinct from afar to see them do a certain effect. Although the park has existed for millions of years, its environment is extremely fragile and subject not only to the erosive force of nature, but also human impact. The town is sometimes called the Fiery Furnace "fiery furnace". The heat is not so terrible. Instead, what is really annoyed by the loud and incessant wind that blows with such violence that in some places you can not even go ahead and also the grains of sand slips under the acchiali. A real pain! 
to visit Mesa Verde contact guidance is a must! and is the wisest thing you can do, given the historical importance of this place. Here lived the people of Anazasi. The settlements are a moving beauty if not shocking. One wonders how people have made to live in this place for centuries. The first homes were dug into the rock, but over 500 years honing skills of construction, buildings were built at various levels built with mud and stones. 
Monument Valley, land of the Navajo and Hopi peoples. The Navajo came down from the colder regions of North America and settled shortly before contact with Europeans in the San Juan Basin, a tributary of the Colorado River in 1500, part of the territories of the current Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. A proud people that has suffered many injustices, but who knew how to recover with dignity and pride. Today the people of the Navajo has about 250,000 people and is the largest ethnic group among the Native Americans, stationed in an area of \u200b\u200bnortheastern Arizona. 
The "Saguaro National Park is located nell'Arizona south-east. The whole park covers an area of \u200b\u200b370 square kilometers and takes its name from the Saguaro ( Carnegiea gigantea) You can not go to Arizona without passing through the area. A real show!
Grand Canyon, one of the first national parks in the United States. Immense gorge cut by the Colorado River in Northern Arizona. It 'about 446 km long, up to 1,600 meters deep with a width varying from 500 meters to 27 kilometers. For the most part is included in the Grand Canyon National Park. It was in 1540 that Garcia Lopez de Cardenas, during one of his trips, he discovered its existence. Place of great geological importance. Nearly two billion years of history of our land have emerged with the erosion of the Colorado through which you can read Protozoico and Paleozoic strata. It 's just flying over that we realize the immensity and beauty. 
New York, New York the region was discovered by Giovanni da Verrazzano while he was in service for King Francis I of France and as The Big Apple was heard for the first time by Fitzgerald in January 1920 on the mouth of two grooms African Americans, so they called the Hippodrome in New York. What about New York? Now all we know, there is no day when the news does not talk about it. The ads, movies and short films, for the most part are set here. Yeah, but the dimensions are quite different if it is projected into the heart of the Big Apple. The small screen certainly does not make the enormous height of the buildings, seen in perspective, it seems to touch, does not make the continuous pulse of the city, the diversity of neighborhoods, works great, great museums, the big names. Well this is beautiful? I do not know, depends on the sensitivity of everyone, tastes and interests. Beautiful, interesting and exciting for me, was to visit the small Muir Wood sequaie with its giant, flying over the Grand Canyon, visit Monument Valley, Bryce Canyon, Arches National Park and other natural attractions and geological , fabulous works carved by nature. All this for me is beautiful! The rest did the man at the expense of nature ...
(accept criticism!).
