MAY 10 & 11 - WILLIAMS, AZ

Grand Canyon by rail today ! It's a beautiful sunny morning with a high forecast of 68 degrees. Wayne, Linda and Randy just left for the train.

Sue, Mark and Julie are shopping the Route 66 in Williams, the last town to be bypassed by Interstate 40 in 1984. It's a really neat town! Time seems to be stuck in the 50's. We came home to walk the doggies and apparently Sue thought hers needed a tea party. LOL.

The Grand Canyon hikers arrived home and had a wonderful day! They took the red trail 1.6 miles each way.

OKAY, the crowd is tired of me doing Churchill so we now have Mark doing George Bush!!! We had such a laugh. It was Dubya's infamous "There's an old saying in Tennessee; well I know it's in Texas, so probably in Tennessee, ...". We had such a laugh. Apparently the blog won't accept video clips. Alas.

Sue, Mark and I had a wonderful day at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. We took the Grand Canyon Railway from Williams, Arizona, a nice 2 1/2 hour ride complete with a Western shoot out, singing cowboys and a train robbery for tips. It was FUN. Sue and I found the old Cafe car for wine! The rail cars are old, refurbished trains from the 20's and 50's. The train robbers rode up on horseback and stopped the train. Anywho, movies and photos don't even start to show the Canyon's majesty ! Perfect weather. We had lunch at Bright Angel and wine at El Tovar, did a little shopping, walked and took photos.
