GCT 5 - bloody!
21 June 2011 11:41 pm The Super 8 motel we stayed at last night was so much better than the last. It had a microwave, a fridge, comfortable beds. Pretty spacious too. So for dinner, we made a Walmart run and bought some microwavable dinners.
Mine was a pasta that you boiled in the microwave. It was easy to prepare, but the taste was pretty terrible. It wasn't too bad that I couldn't eat it with a straight face, which I did. Later I had ramen which pretty much cleared up that bland and sour taste. Watched The Perfect Storm while eating.
I had a pretty good sleep, considering the sleep the night before.
Morning - breakfast was dull. Mother and Father were a bit pissed off at my brother, because he took so long to come down from the hotel room to put his belongings in the car. It seemed like a bad beginning to a new day.
We went into Antelope Canyon (accidentally dubbed "Cantaloupe Canyon" by my father) and it was indeed, very beautiful. Inside, it was cool and the walls were delicately carved smooth by water over years and years of time. The colors were spectacular. Even though the terrain was tough and the tour claustrophobic, I loved the hike because of the beauty. Everyone came out fine, except for my sister who survived a few bruises. Saw some lizards too on the hike back to the parking lot. They do like their shade, so one of them kept chasing my shadow. Oh yes, and there was so much sand in my shoes after the tour.
Slept the rest of the way as we traveled to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. We made a stop at some patio and ate a lunch there.
The North Rim is pretty much like the South Rim; just with more trees and flies. I wore dark jeans today, so my legs were on fire.
Now I'm at our current hotel. It's independently owned, but it's amazing. The room is so clean and has lovely decorations. The internet service is pretty reliable, even though it gave my brother a hard time until now to connect. The TV is actually a LCD screen, and the bathroom is beautiful. (No grime!)
Though my sister did have a huge nosebleed just now. Took about 10 minutes for the blood to stop flowing.
