Grand Canyon

We finally arrived here after a 6 hour trip and it's completely amazing.  It's very hard to describe the sheer size of it.  We are lucky enough to stay in a lodge right beside the canyon rim.  We got to go on a helicopter ride over the canyon and it was well worth the money and the only way to see.  Just awesome!!! we had a pretty cruisy day and went for a walk around the rim. We were going to go down into the canyon a bit, but when I saw that there were no handrails I chickened out cos it is a sheer drop to the bottom which is 1.6miles down.   In the afternoon we went on a 5mile bike ride along the rim and it was scary stuff.  But we're glad we did and it was well worth it.  For dinner we found a restaurant that had steak and vegetables, it was our first taste of vegetables since we've been here and it was awesome.  Tomorrow we head to Cortez for the night and it's going to be a 8 hour bus ride. Can't wait! not!!!
