This morning started off with Linda and I driving up to the Canyon and meeting Bruce and Joan (my best friends), Joey and Brenda (Joanie's brother) and Phyllis and Doug (friends) for breakfast. Having been on the road two weeks now it was SO nice having a piece of home ... . They were in Vegas yesterday and late in the day took a train to the Canyon. They headed back to Vegas this afternoon and we might even have a chance to catch up with each other again tomorrow night when Linda and I get to Vegas. This long on the road one gets a little homesick ... miss my family and my dogs!!! :)
I go to the beach almost every summer with Bruce and Joan and we get to view sunrises together. We didn't get to share one today but we did get to share some of the beauty of God's creation together!!
Linda hasn't been able to do much walking due to a hip/leg problem so I walked down a path into the Canyon a bit with Bruce and Joanie ... not far mind you, but far enough to say I was on the trail! Going down was so easy. I wanted to go further then decided to turn around. Oh my goodness!!! I thought I was in better shape. Didn't walk too fast or too far without stopping. Here, wherever one goes, a water bottle goes too. The water guide yesterday told us that the air is so dry, sweat evaporates before you know you're sweating so good hydration is important.
Today was probably the prettiest day we've had ... the smoke from the controlled burns was contained a bit due to an overnight rain and several times during the day heavy rains and t-storms blew in, and out, of the Canyon quickly. Beautiful beautiful day.
Hey! I saw two condors soaring today. Got some pictures AND a short video which I'll try and post. Once I get a faster connection I will do so IF I can't get them uploaded now.
It was a good day today. Tomorrow ... Vegas and Donny and Marie!!
