enjoying the view

Just a few pictures....we're at The Grand Canyon--my husband is on his 17 mile hike today, so I have a quiet day to myself.

This is what it looked like when we arrived yesterday morning--covered in fog. Every so often the fog would lift a bit and we would get a view (like this one) and then it would come in again and we could see NOTHING! We were worried that the whole day would be like this.

But we didn't need to worry....the sun came out around noon! It ended up being a beautiful day. We enjoyed taking the bus out to Hermit's Rest, stopping at lots of different viewpoints in between there and the village where we are staying.

This morning at 4:35 AM my husband set off to fulfill a lifelong dream. He's hiking down the Kaibab trail and hiking up the Bright Angel trail. He hopes to be up in time for our 6:15 dinner reservations (he made them on purpose so he would have extra incentive to get out of the canyon!). He expected to be at Indian Garden, one of the resting stops, around 10 this morning, and he showed me where to look with the binoculars to find him there. I looked several times, but though I can see lots of people, I can't make out anyone--they're tiny little dots, too far away to distinguish. I can't wait to see him in a few hours!!!
