my spleen at the Grand Canyon

Took a ride up to the Grand Canyon today.

Did I just say that? "Took a ride"? Like, I can just head up there for a day trip?

This place is incredible. I love being in Arizona.

It only took about 90 minutes to get there (the south rim is much closer than the north rim, what we did last weekend). Rain threatened but never followed through other than a nasty downpour on the ride up.

Rainclouds overhead.

The Colorado River glimmers at the beginning sunset.

"If there is light in the soul, there will be beauty in the person. If there is beauty in the person, there will be harmony in the house. If there is harmony in the house, there will be order in the nation. If there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world."
-- Chinese Proverb

"Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not, though he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people." --Albert Einstein

Tomorrow we head to Sedona. I hear it's the vortex capital of the world or something, so if I get any pictures of unicorns or aliens or anything, you'll see it here first, on Blog blogrollandroll.
