After meeting on Sunday morning and lunch with some more friends, we hit the road again, this time heading to Arizona, where we were spending the night in Williams before taking the train into the Grand Canyon on Monday.

Hot. Very, Very Hot.
It was a beautiful day to be driving, although it was VERY hot - 41°C (106°F)! We made sure we had lots of coffee, water, and gasoline, and then set ourselves to enjoying the scenery which was beautiful, as usual.

As an aside, I have never yet found nature anywhere to be absolutely ugly. There is always some beauty to be seen.

Part of our route was on Route 66, and at one point when I needed a bathroom stop, we chose the Roadkill Cafe, which had a few signs that I found amusing...
