Living in a Dream - or Living in a Movie?

I'm opening my eyes. I'm opening my mind. I'm now a Citizen of the World. Italy, Scotland and California have given - and are still giving me - the chance to see the World from other points of view; Points of view made of different smiles, ideas, religions and values. Simply amazing to learn how to deal with all of that.

Day 1: from California through Nevada, Idaho, and Wyoming.

Wow, it's going to be a challenge to keep track of our Crazy American Road Trip! 5 states in 36 hours, 1600 miles! Okay okay, calm down.. I'll start from the beginning:

After leaving 2 hours late (we didn't realized how many things we needed til we saw how packed the car was -.-), we finally managed to get the rhythm of the trip. And for "we" I mean myself, Ace - our "low cost insurance guarantee" - cos he's the oldest, haha! - Jamie, Jenny and Tom.

So our first stop would have in been Reno, Nevada. Right after Sacramento though, not too far from Lake Taohe, we ran into a snowstorm. NICE O_O That was the proof that in northern California the snow exists, oh yes! So Jamie and Tom set the snow chains and slowly we left the snow behind us.


We reached Reno at about 2pm and we visited the famous Eldorado Casino. Sooo unreal! It was massive, full of slot machines and smily dealers at the tables, fancy dressed people and cool shops. SPEND MONEY PEOPLE, SPEND MONEY!! Even Tom invested a dollar..Useless to say it was not a good investment haha!



After getting back to the car, we decided to change our first plan: Instead of going to Salt Lake City, we opted to head to Wyoming in order to see the popular Yellowstone National Park, even if it'd have taken more hours.

AFTER maaaany hours spend driving through Nevada and Idaho we got to Yellowstone Park, Wyoming: SNOW EVERYWHERE O_O Tom wisely proposed to find a McDonalds car park, saying that we'd have had "food and restrooms". Right. To get to that DAMN McDonalds though, we went through a super frozen road, where the car was basically deciding what to do by itself. SCARY THING!!! But our amazing Tom managed the situation really well, and we safely arrived to our destination.
As soon as we stopped the car - I'm quoting Tom - "And now I'm gonna get a fucking burger!!!", we discussed on what to do next: Sleeping or keep going...?
Jamie seemed convinced: He wanted to leave right after.

So YEAHHH, the trip continued without any "sleeping hour"...kill me now! My eyes was burning due to my tiredness! It was already midnight, therefore...ROLL ON THE SECOND DAY!!!
