USA road trip – Saguaro NP, Tombstone and around

Po vseh skalah in puščavah, ki so nas spremljale zadnje tedne naše poti po ZDA, je bila po White Sands NM na vrsti civilizacija.

But there are also so many other interesting things to see – there are that beep-beep birds from the cartoon, where the coyote hunts that fast bird, and excellent sweet bread made by Native Americans, the cemetery of old aircrafts …
