2nd day at Grand Canyon

Had a torrid night last night - the air conditioning packed up! I complained at 2:00 am and they sent an engineer out to service it. Even Jan said it was hot so it must have been bad!
Because Obama was having a picnic at the Western end of the Grand Canyon yesterday, it was reopened today and so we decided to visit. Although it is truly spectacular, one view begins to look like another. It is not like Yosemite or Zion where the scenery changes around every corner. If we had more time, it would have been good to take a day mule trip to see the falls in the bottom of the canyon. Not sure if we would have like it though.
Our hotel is beautiful and the closest point is only 20feet from the edge of the canyon. You can just about make the hotel out on the top of the adjacent picture. If you click on the image you will be able to see it better It will soon be time for a few cocktails on the veranda. I am going off for a sunset tour soon to try and get some different pictures.......
Jan will wait in the hotel, keeping the barman happy until I get back.
