We went over to the casino and gambled a while. We took a break to have dinner. Ted was down and I was up. After dinner we gambled a little more. Ted came out a winner and I was a loser! You just never know!
We left yesterday morning and made it to the Grand Canyon. We love it here. It is so beautiful and we feel so serene that is until we had to get fuel! Today we went to the Village to get the fuel, $4.70 per gallon for diesel...yikes! I think we will take the shuttle everywhere!
Then we went to the rim for lunch at the El Tovar Hotel. It is such a beautiful hotel and we had a delicious lunch. After lunch we looked around the gift shops and then parked ourselves on the El Tovar porch. It was sunny and perfect. We had a glass of wine and watched the weather change drastically! The clouds rolled in and the wind started blowing and it started to rain. Our view changed several times right before our eyes! We had a delightful time!
As we were heading back to the campground we saw a group of people pulling over and this is what they were seeing, a small herd of Elk! There was one buck and several does and even a couple of babies! The "big daddy" laid on the ground while everyone took pictures and then decided enough was enough and headed off! There is a lot of green grass all around the area for them to munch on. We've been to the Canyon five or six times and this is the first time we've seen Elk up close and personal!
Enjoying everything that makes it the "Grand Canyon"..."Ain't Life Grand!"
