Grand Canyon - Woo!!!

For now - let me just say that D was charming and patient yesterday morning - and despite my persistent conspiring to stay in bed - he left me primarily alone, yet also managed to convince me to get up... I still don't entirely understand how it happened... I might comment more when I figure it out.
Anyway - this was the moon as we got in the car to leave. Note utter blackness... it was like 5:30 in the morning. The terms Cruel and Unusual come to mind, though I'm not entirely sure what I did wrong.

Part of the way up - the sun pondered waking up too... I started getting optimistic about the day's weather... what delusions.

Not far from Grand Canyon and the snow started falling... suffice to say - I was rethinking having gotten out of bed. You can't see it in the picture - but it was actually snowing as we entered the park - this is the road north to the South Rim Village.

p.s. This is published in multiple posts - because Picasa won't upload more than four pictures in each post... at least it won't let me...
