Last Blog and then home

We went with  our Allegro club to the Grand Canyon.  We were in the 1st class car.  Wahoo!


The canyon is still amazing.

We ate lunch here.  It's the El Tovar.

There were tons of people there that day (Friday the 15.)

We heard at least five languages that day.  The man that took this picture of us used hand signals to ask if we wanted him to take this.  Everybody was smiles all day.  It felt nice to share such grandeur with visitors. 


We looked down on Bright Angel Trail.  We didn't want to go down because then we would have to climb back up.  Besides I already had 9000 steps and we had to walk back to the train depot.


This will be our last posting before we get home.  We leave here, Williams, Tuesday morning.  We'll stop in Gila Bend for the night and should be home Wednesday afternoon. We'll text you.

Love, Mom and Dad

Love El Tovar! And that Arch is as far as we walked on Bright Angel lay time we went.

I have a friend that did the rim to rim hike, and then back. Nuts... He said it was 117 at the floor of the canyon. I prefer the train and cocktails at El Tovar.
