Cavernous.

Today was the first real day in Arizona. We had arrived here last night after a outrageously long drive. Hah. I'm pretty sure I slept the first half and then spam texted the remainder of the drive.

Anywho, today we had a lovely adventure on Route 66. Went to the Keepers of the Wild... That was neat. Didn't expect it to be; I was actually really skeptical of it when we pulled up. I mean, it was two mobile homes on a patch of dirt nestled between a couple of rock formations. Woo, right? The lady in the first mobile was kinda pushy, and there were random overly priced souvenirs everywhere. We paid what was asked, they handed us some maps and gave us some lime-green wrist bands, and we were on our way.

Immediately we saw tigers. OMG right? Yeah. But it's not that we just saw them, we were like seven feet away from them. It was astounding. They had quite a few animals that they had rescued. It was really cool. The white Bengial Tiger was my favourite. His name was Sebastion. I wanted to pet him. Haha. I took about two-hundered and fifty photos, at least.

After we finished our tour of the wild life preserve [there were more than just tigers - Lions, Monkeys, Wolfs, ect] we got back on Route 66 and drove even more. Haha. We did drive though Peach Springs, which was the model for the movie Cars. That was neat, seeing as Disney totally copied this town to almost a tee. We eventually ended up at teh Grand Canyon Caverns [which, was about a two-hour drive short of the Grand Canyon]. We pulled up to this weird motel thing and then followed some old-fashioned signs for another mile until we reached some Curio shop. It was nearly deserted and there were more overly priced gifts. Hah.

We waited around for the tour to start and then the man summoned us to the elevator that would take us to the caverns. It was so bizarre, taking a journey in an elevator to the center of the earth. Well, not the center persay, but twenty-one stories down. It was nuts! It was so pretty, being surrounded by all this crystal and formations. It was so huge in there, it was kinda crazy. Just imagining how so much exsists outside of the normal eye-line. Very cool.

I am so tired. This time change totally messed me up. Or maybe I just don't get enough sleep. Either or.
