Day 2: Grand Canyon

 Grand Canyon,  WOW!
 The views were  spectacular!  Everywhere we went and everywhere we looked we were just amazed.  It made the long drive yesterday feel like it was worth it.
 Shuttle buses from our lodge.

 Hope having a good time, notice those menacing thunderclouds in the background.  We were really worried we would get dumped on.

 Feel the love!
 So beautiful!
Emma breaking the rules, I thought George might enjoy seeing his daughter taking after him and not staying on the paths.  We left the Grand Canyon and headed out for the Four Corners area.  On our way our car over heated and we spent a couple of hours in Tuba City, which sadly made us get to the Four Corners area too late and it was closed.  So off to Cortez we went.  We are aiming for Mesa Verde in the morning.

Isn't the Grand Canyon just magnificant? Chico and I were there 20 years ago. When I saw your comment about the menacing clouds I was reminded that while we were there, there was a lightening storm and it struck the railing just a few feet from where we were standing. So scary! We and the other tourists decided to leave, and fast. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your trip as you go. Have fun and stay cool!

Isn't it amazing that a person can live so close to that amazing canyon and not go spend some time in it . . . . I'm guilty . . . . only peered over the rim a couple of times as we were passing by . . .
