Day 3 : Sequoia to Vegas

Today we saw the big ones.  They were big. Really big. You just won't believe how bind-boggling big there were. I half-expected to see an ewok.

Additionally, Pieter and I were particularly impressed by how well managed the the park is.  We drove the "Generals highway" and took the short hike down the the grove featuring General Sherman, the largest living thing in the world.  After the park we crossed the Mojave desert and finally ended up in a glass pyramid in Las Vegas.

Tomorrow we head for the grand Canyon.

Here are some of the best pictures.  I've included a video-comparison of a re-enactment of my favorite scene from Vertigo.  I couldn't resist.
