Grand Canyon

On Sunday we arrived at the Grand Canyon.  Our hotel was rustic!  The TV was a tube TV!   Blast from the past.  The air conditioning was two fans.  It was clean and adequate.  We were in two buildings that were two levels.  Of course we got the top level, no elevator.  There was a huge cafeteria that had a pizza pub attached to it in the main building.  The pizza was good and the beer was reasonable.  Our room was about two blocks to the canyon, one of the best locations we've stayed at.  It was warm and windy. 
These mule deer greeted us.  They were right in front of our hotel and not afraid of all of us taking their picture




My first cousins Sharon and Nancy!
This guy was on our bus.  I loved his hoodie!
We arrived at Harrah's around 4 PM.  We've checked into our lovely rooms and we're off to the Outback Steakhouse for a nice dinner.  Tomorrow is a free day so we'll go out exploring.  We haven't booked any shows but there really isn't anything we haven't seen we want to see.  I would go and see Donnie and Marie again but they are not playing this week.  We had planned on seeing Celine but she had her surgery and I really hope it goes well for her.  She's one of my favorites. 

At 6PM it was 25C/77F!  It will be nice all week.  Sunny and warm!
