Shall we?
Day 2: Who needs the Internet when you’ve got nature?
There were free prints I wanted to use on Shutterfly. Alas, there is no Internet. What does the American Southwest use, then? Who knows. Probably pixie dust. (While we’re linking to Sports Illustrated, here is something completely unrelated, but much more important.)
And so, onwards we drive. Williams, AZ. There’s a Safeway across from our lodgings. Yes, Safeway. Not Von’s, some of which we passed by in soCal. Oh, and not Albertson’s, either, which has reverted to Lucky here in the Yay, but apparently not so in Santa Barbara and Las Vegas. The Lee family chooses not to heed Cindy’s food advisements in purchasing provisions here, paving the way to further unhealthy eating (post, again, to come. Yes, it merits its own post. No joke.) throughout the remainder of the trip.
What can be said about the Grand Canyon? As MTME (Marquardt-the-male, elder) pointed out, pictures are inadequate. And because I haven’t uploaded them yet, (relax! I got home five hours ago, and there have been other pressing issues) my even more insufficient words will have to do for now. We drove in through the South Entrance, and serendipitously stumbled upon the perfect launching point for a foray during the half-day we had left.
We parked by Mather Point, took in the sight, then proceeded to the Visitor Center and caught the Green Shuttle to Yaki Point. Wow. Yes. There was walking. (Unfortunately, the 1 mile that was trekked in no way excuses the unhealthy eating. Still gorgeous.) As we left, our heads were full of plans for the next day.
Upon our return to Williams, I made a nuisance of myself and watched the latter part of Love and Basketball. It’s love! And basketball! What could be better?
