| Peggy and I have returned from four days at the Grand Canyon.
The first day we went to Williams, AZ and rode the luxury parlor car
round trip on the Grand Canyon Railway. The trip was very relaxing
and enjoyable. We met several nice couples, enjoyed a few
appetizers, were robbed by galloping wild west cowboys that stopped the
train, and later sipped champagne before we disembarked! When
we returned to Williams we drove back to the Canyon and stayed at the
Yavapai Lodge. The next day we leisurely walked the Rim and
attended a workshop on how to photograph the canyon with digital
cameras. We purchased a Canon two days before we left. We
learned a few tricks and took a few photos. On Thursday morning at
5:00 AM we hiked down the Bright Angel Trail to Indian Gardens and on to
Plateau Point where we fueled our bodies with a picnic brunch. We
reached the top again by noon! Jumped into the car with a few
aches and pains and drove back home for dinner at 5:00 PM. |
