All the pics this week are from the Grand Canyon.

I wrote earlier about Danita having a severe problem with her knee. The problem seems to have gone away. Maybe it was the steroid shot. Maybe it just went away. We have no idea what the caused her pain. Results from the MRI are still not available. When Danita checked the hospital’s website, she found our that the person the hospital staff were calling “doctor” is actually a Physician’s Assistant. We are thankful that she isn’t having problems. We are not taking significant hikes. Danita hasn’t ridden her bike.

The trail at Angle’s Point got quite narrow, dropping off on both sides

Yesterday we went back to visit — and see — the grand canyon. We took a 0.8 mile walk to Angle’s point behind the lodge. I scrambled up on a rock for the picture above. Then we drove out to see Angel’s Window and Cape Royal, stopping at the view points along the way. The views were spectacular. I finally stopped adding pictures to this blog because there would be too many, and because no picture can describe the feeling of being here.

We were delighted that we decided to re-visit the canyon.

Today it’s back to work. This is our last week of training.

I couldn’t resist taking this picture. The couple had obviously been married for a long time. The woman was telling her husband that he was too close to the edge. The man was totally intent on getting the perfect picture.
