The mornings have been gloriously sunny and cool (50’s) and the afternoons 60’s and 70’s with some clouds. It’s showered for short periods every afternoon around 4-5:00, then clears up for sunset.
We ate yesterday in Tusayan at the Yipee Ei O Steak House. Avoid any restaurant with "Yipee Ei O” in the name. Today we had lunch at the Arizona Room in the Bright Angel Lodge. There was 10’ of grass and a sidewalk between our table and the edge of the canyon. Roasted Corn Chowder and Ancho Chili Marinara on Penne with Garbonzos, Pintos, Avocado, corn and sunflower seeds. Very tasty indeed!
Barb and I have been working on vacations since we’ve been married. At the start we were two stereotypical Type-A’s: she had left a job behind and I had left a job behind. The first week we were testy because we were out of touch and fought some. The middle of the second week we started to relax a bit; and then it was time to go home and back to work! In the RV since retirement I’ve worked to vary the days; not to have a routine. We eat when we’re hungry and nap when we’re tired. There are driving days interspersed with “down” days. We started in the RV driving like we did when we worked and both drove; now we shoot for 250 miles a day. If I do everything and drive 400 miles, I’m a mess. This way is much more relaxed and we have more time than money now! We’ve got a 400 mile day scheduled into this trip but that could change; we’ve changed the schedule a couple of times this trip already. It’s much more relaxed…
Tomorrow to the North Rim; and we’ll probably be out of touch for awhile again.
Yay! Finally a picture of both of you!
