I couldn't write about yesterday as we did not have a wi-fi service. We brought a tent with us just in case and we used it. We went to church in Flagstaff (a pretty town). It was a big young ward with lots of babies. The chuch building was different than any I have ever been in.
After church we changed our clothes and drove to Sedona. Very pretty town with lots of red dirt. They make a big deal about the red dirt and make t=shirts using the dirt to color the shirts. I remember when the kids were little doing eveything I could to get the red dirt out of their white shirts. The town is an arties town and it must be a spiritual town, in an area of 3 blocks I saw Palm Readers, and Taro card readers.
After a good lunch we drove to the Grand Canyon. I was there 43 years ago and still don't remember how massive it is. When we were there before I think we were at the North Rim. Jonny was sick then and we just stopped, looked over the side and left. This time we took lots of pictures (still haven't figured out how to post them). We stopped off at a hotel on the entrance of the park to see how much a room was. It wasn't even a nice hotel, and they wanted $150, and it was next to the ice machine and soda machine. If I was going to spend that much money I sure wouldn't want my room in that location. When we entered the park the ranger asked in anyone in the car was 62 or older (Jonny loves when he is carded). The fee for getting into the park was $25 but since we are old we got a card for $10 and it lets us in all federal parks for free. What a deal and it is good for our life time. Our only other option was camping. As most of you know I am not a camper but I really enjoyed it. It was only $18 and we were right in the middle of the action. We had to go to bed at 9:00 as we had no lights and nothing else to do.
About 4:00 a.m. Jonny got us as someone was snoring too loudly. Can't figure that one out as I never heard anyone snoring. I slept in until 7:00 and was really rested. Jonny slept in the front of the truck and didn't sleep well at all. Don't know why he didn't use his earplugs.
