Another drought in the blog, this time because of a road trip out West.

At Bryce and Zion foreign tourists swamped the place like Americans swamp Europe. In fact, it felt more like a European destination than any place in America. Most of the people at the major centers were not speaking English (mostly French, out to see the wild wild west). It makes me think that, contrary to what some people say, Americanization is not synonymous with globalization. This is an example in microcosm of what you actually find in the world.
