Wow Is Me!

On Sunday we tried to get out early since we had close to a three-hour drive up to the Grand Canyon.  As Gail was getting dressed, she felt an odd lump in one of the legs of her jeans.  It was the missing sock!

Lunch was at a place called "We Cook Pizza".  They offered a cheese pizza; a "We Cook" pizza (pepperoni, mushrooms, onions and peppers); an "Other Cook" pizza ( same but with sausage); and "Meaty Cook" pizza (pepperoni, sausage, Canadian bacon, meatballs).  We chose the "We Cook".  It was delicious.

One of the very few benefits of being disabled - and I would trade it in any time - is a permanent pass to enter any national park for free.  Additionally, at the Grand Canyon, we were given a separate pass and code to be able to drive westward along parts of the South rim where normally only buses are allowed.  This was great, and allowed us to get up close to some of the most beautiful views of the canyon.  Bob had seen the canyon twice before, about 40 years ago, but I never had.  The two of us only had one word for it: WOW!  It's impossible to describe in words the magnitude of this canyon, and photos do not begin to do it justice, but here are just a few.

We spent approximately 4 hours driving along the south rim and stopping at view points along the way, and were lucky enough to find a place where we could actually see the Colorado River. We could have spent another several hours there - it is that magnificent and that different from various vantage points - but we had a long drive back to Sedona.

Wow.
