USA-reis
11 June - 20 August 1995

Below an overview of our trip in the USA.
The first part (East coast : Boston, New York and Washington) was a study-trip, organized by students (group of 35 persons).
After 11 days, we (I and three friends) took a flight to the West coast (San Fransisco and Yosimite). Another week later, three friends from Belgium joined us, and we rented a car to visit several National Parks in California, Utah, Colorado and Arizona.
