The Canyon Above All Canyons

Day 9, April 9, 2006



Today was a visit to one of the wonders of the world, the Grand Canyon! After a brief stop at the Trading Post in Cameron (What a stupendous place for Indian stuff and just about everything else you can imagine, including a gallery of very expensive native American art, sculpture, pottery and Indian clothing, including a $9,000 pair of beaded Navaho moccasins and a $55,000 piece of Navaho woman's clothing !!).


The weather was gorgeous, bright blue sky and clear, crisp air. Not very crowded with people, but parking is a real problem near the South Rim. We could not have asked for a more stupendous day to see Nature's handiwork. We stopped for the iMax show on the trip south and it is well worth seeing how it captures the mystique of the Canyon.(as soon as I upload my pictures to my laptop, I'll add some to the blog. Remember, Carol and I are sharing the laptop and both writing journals and blogs, so when we get to Phoenix and stay put for a couple of days, I'll do that.)

We're at an RV park (getting our kicks) on 'Route 66' in Flagstaff for the night nestled in among the pines. A quiet place and not very many rigs here so early in the season.

Supper is finished and Carol's turn on the laptop coming up in a few minutes.
