The Grand Canyon certainly is grand. I managed to take 149 pictures of it and Beth took a lot more than that. We arrived there at around 9am and it was extraordinarily vast. This will be a short blog as there is not much to say it is mainly visual. We saw wildlife also, rabbits, deer and large predatorial birds. Beth and I got to do a mile long walk in the afternoon… during which it hailed, which was different. I found my favourite view of the grand canyon on the Western edge of the tour and sat perched on a rock for half an hour whilst the Blomberg’s got a drink. I took a panorama of it but I am not sure how it will come out. It was a magnificent place to sit with lightening flashing on either side of me over the Canyon.
For dinner we went to a delicious pizza place called Spaghetti Westerns (can you see why I picked it). The food was amazing with the only downside being their cheesecake hadn’t been defrosted (grr). We went back to the Grand Canyon for the sunset but the poor weather on the day blighted it a bit. When we got back to where we were staying Beth and I went for a very cold swim.
