And President Obama recalled a childhood visit to the Grand Canyon. "When I was eleven years old -- when I was Malia's age -- I was here," the president said. He was asked by a park ranger whether he thought it looked the same as he remembered it. "It does. It hasn't changed too much," Mr. Obama said.

1. The closest I've been to the Grand Canyon was flying over it on way to Los Angeles

Even from thousands of feet up, it looked damned impressive--and Mount St. Helen looked like someone had bitten off its top.

2. Nice video

but I found the boom mic disturbing.

3. Sort of like a low budget film with the boom showing. And I feel

for those girls, having cameras and mics following them like it's a reality show. I think that's why there was only short video clip, it was probably agreed that they could film for only a few minutes in one specific location.
