<< Day 10 - The Grand Canyon
 |
| Navajo Bridge, Arizona |
What a great day that was! You would think that after spending almost two weeks together we would have been done, but we still had a few laughs in us.
Angharad had some postcards to mail, so we stopped at a Post Office/Trading Post where she got her mail sent and we did a little bit of souvenir shopping.

Then we continued north until we got to the Navajo Bridge, at which point the road went west along the base of the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument.
We drove along the monument and then the road veered up into some pretty impressive hills. We stopped at a couple of places where there were signs for condors, but unfortunately, none were to be seen.

Finally it was lunchtime, and we found a perfect lookout point with a shaded picnic table and so we stopped and had lunch there.
I'm still a little fuzzy on the details, but at some point, I was sitting on the edge of the wall looking out over the scenery, and Juanita had a very vivid vision of me getting carried away by a buzzard which actually caused her to scream... and then we were laughing again to the point of tears while we ate our lunch.
(Part of the reason I was laughing was because the word buzzard reminds me of this Get Fuzzy comic...)
After lunch, we packed everything back into the car and drove to Provo for supper and the night.
