Recap

Its been a crazy week so far. Our trip to Phoenix went off better than expected. We just loved the place. The temperature outside at all times of the day or night hovered in the high 60's. Offcourse we were advised that summer is a totally different ball game, with temperatures hovering in the 110's, but the current weather was great. We dint get to do much on Saturday other than hang out with friends and eat some great home cooked food. What is it about Kabobs that taste so good when eaten off the skewer?

Sunday was when we visited the Grand Canyon. While the weekend started with pouring rain on Friday and a slight drizzle on Saturday, Sunday was picture perfect day. Sunny and bright. The rain and snow over the past couple of days meant that the air had been cleaned off all the dirt particles and visibility was excellent. What can I say about the grand canyon other than the fact that it was GRAND! WOW! The only disappointment of the day was a glimpse of the might Colorado river that had carved this canyon out of stone industriously over millions of years. The river seemed spent from its effort and instead of roaring through the canyon with smoke blowing from its nostrils, made its way like a sedentary old woman in the grocery isle, placidly enjoying its labors of the past.

I was trying to post some pictures using hello but my bloggerbot is on strike, pretty much like the players of the NHL and failed to do his job. So the magnificent vista's will have to wait till I have more time to iron out the kinks.
