Last day at the Grand Canyon :(

Lunch at the El Tovar Hotel, a nice way to end our time at the Grand Canyon!  I had the smoked salmon salad and Ted had the pork tenderloin chili.  Both were delicious!  We spent some time around the canyon and got to the veranda before the rains started again.  The weather wasn't as spectacular as Sunday and there was no rainbow but still fun to watch the lightning and hear the thunder and of course people watching!  It was in the low 50's and some young guy was running around in his shorts (not underwear) only and flinging his arms toward heaven.  Not sure what he was asking God, but he seemed to really be talking to him!  Anyway, it was a lot of fun!

We left the Canyon yesterday about 9:00 a.m. and made it almost to Kingman, Arizona before the rains started.  It got down in the low 60's so at least we didn't have to worry about hail!  Ted drove about four hours in the rain before we finally saw the sun again!  We arrived in Cherry Valley around 6:00 p.m. last night.  We tried to make it in time to play bingo but we had to eat and take care of Max.  It was a long day of driving for us and we were all tired anyway!

This morning we felt an earthquake!  I don't know if it was very big or not, but it was the largest we have felt in our RV!  Felt like we were bumping down the road or as if someone was bumping into us!  Max finally woke up when it was almost over!  Guess not all animals have the early warning sense!

We will leave here this morning for Pio Pico down in San Diego!

Today is our nephew Chip's birthday..."Ain't Life Grand!"
