Awe inspiring, isn't it?
No, really, the Grand Canyon was astonishing. I had serious butterflies doing laps in my stomach when we walked along the North Rim (as opposed to silly butterflies, I suppose). Pictures don't begin to do that hole justice, but here are a couple of them anyway.
The statistics, as I remember them, are that this canyon is 10 miles wide, 277 miles long and a mile deep. Whew. The picture above is a little hazy, but the mountains in the distance are about 25 miles away.
We didn't spend much time here, but I would like to go back someday and do some exploring.
Our three-week holiday was good, and we are thankful. I am planning to do some blogging this summer. I know I have been away for a long time, but I've built up some things to write about and the summer schedule is less hectic.

Glad to note that you are back and planning some interesting blogs. We continue to remember you in our prayers.George in Saskatoon.
Lumpy,
I looke for but was surprised not to find this quote from Piper:
"No one goes to the Grand Canyon to enhance his self esteem".
Very good point, Ken. I should have included that. I'm glad you have now!
