Welcome to Chaos !!

Zion means place of refuge or sanctuary......it's a very fitting description.
Let me tell you about my first day here.
Got up around 8 am and had some breakfast.
The first hike was the the Emerald Pools, all three pools. They are called Emerald Pools because of the greenish looking water. Beautiful!


After that I went to the beginning of the route to a hike called The Narrows. This is a hike that I read about a long time ago, it is voted to be one of the best in the world. You need to be equipped for The Narrows - I wasn't. 16 miles round trip, much of it through water. So I just dipped my feet in the freezing water, they got numb in less than a minute. Refreshing!


Then it was time for Weeping Rock. That one consists of is a quick uphill walk. It was now late afternoon and I still wanted to go up to Angels Landing. I did not have my cellphone on me so I wasn't for sure what time it was but I think I started walking the path leading up to Angels Landing a little before 5 pm. I was the only person going up there (due to the late start). The hike itself is spectacular . I got to the first section of the chains, the last 0.5 miles you hike holding on to chains because some parts are very steep, and decided to turn around safely before it started getting dark. Plus I did not want to scramble out to Angels Landing all alone hanging on to some chains for dear life. And I am scared of heights.


I had a wonderful day. Loved it. Here are some more pics. I took my first couple of self portraits with the self timer on my camera, it worked great.
And my new thing is to make a heart symbol with my hands, cute.

I got back from Zion like 4 hours ago. After some long phone conversations with Angelica and Mikey I am now too tired for anything else but sleep.
More about Zion soon!

Tatiana is in Zion, Utah with her friend Sonja.
It is super nice here. VERY nice! Tomorrow hiking.
We arrived today so there was just checking in, a small tour of Springfield the town we are staying in and dinner.
Getting up at 7 am tomorrow.
DA NANG!!!!

I love this song. It's by Robyn. She is Swedish.

Friday night here in Vegas, the town is busy, I know cause I just came back from down there, The Strip, a few hours ago.
Have to say that CityCenter is really nice, it looks so modern and glittery. I imagine like something you see in Singapore, Tokyo or Beijing - though I can't compare cause I haven't been to those places. Many of the other hotels in town pale in comparison to CityCenter.
I got up early today so all I want to do is take a bath, remove my midnight blue nail polish, replace it with pink nail polish and sleep.
Getting up early tomorrow to run a lap or two in the park, before it gets too hot. It is HOT out, unusually hot for October - bleh.
Tonight I am feeling LOST. Like where should I be, where do I belong? I live in like two places but I come from somewhere else. My friends are scattered all over, which sometimes means that I get to be alone, sometimes too alone.
Should I be in Sweden? Or Vegas? Alaska? I don't think that I could live in Alaska forever.....it's nice but the winters are too long and it is too isolated.
Vegas......what kind of future would I be looking at in Vegas?
Sweden? My really good friends and my family are there.
I'm confused, lost and feel weird tonight.
And I am hungry. But food will have to wait until tomorrow. I am not venturing out for a breakfast burrito from Roberto's at this hour.

Saw this super cute purple teapot at Teavana today, I love that place.
So I might have to get it.
Went to Town Square mall today. Saw the teapot and bought a new MAC eyeshadow, called "Greensmoke".
Besides that, the volcanic ash treatment I stupidly put in my hair a few weeks ago messed my hair up. My hair is super dry, feels and looks like hay and I have a giant knot in it, looks like a dreadlock. I put some conditioner on the dreadlock, hopefully I will be able to untangle it without having to pull out hundreds of hairs. Never again some weird volcanic ash treatments!!!
That's all, don't have anything craaaazyyyy to report. Going to bed early.
