Grand Canyon North Rim
Today we drove a couple of hours through beautiful Utah country to see the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. This side of the big hole is not as popular, and there were few crowds there today. It was really beautiful. We saw lots of mule deer and a coyote. It takes a long drive to get there, but it is definitely worth it, especially if you are on this side.
Some pictures!
Tomorrow, at the suggestion of the woman who runs the place where we are staying, we are taking a guided tour to Antelope Canyon, a slot canyon in Page, Arizona. It looks really amazing.
Tonight is our last night at the Historic Smith Hotel Bed and Breakfast. We have had such a wonderful time here. The people have been so kind, and we have met travelers from as far away as Belgium and as close as Clarksville, TN. It has also been so nice to start every day with a delicious homemade meal - the hotels we will be staying in for the rest of the trip will be tough to get used to! Speaking of meals, it will also be difficult to leave the Buffalo Bistro right next door. While they do serve some interesting items (buffalo, rabbit, the aforementioned Rocky Mountain oyster), the rest of the menu is delicious, particularly the chocolate/banana cobbler, which we have had two nights in a row, now.

Let me guess. The oysters tasted like chicken. We have a poster of Antelope Canyon upstairs in the hallway. If it is anything like the picture it will be great. Be careful. We love you guys!
