It’s not that we weren’t blown away by the beauty of the North Rim. We will surely return to spend more time wandering its trails. But for some reason (and remember, our base of operations is Kanab) we (the birthday girl) decided that it would be fun to head another direction today. So we left […]
We rose, breakfasted, and were on our way to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. We stopped for lunch in Kanab (our base of operations for the next couple of days. Then it was on to the canyon. Along the way we stopped to take a couple of pictures of some farm artwork. Arriving
And we’re on the road again. The day started with us loading up the car and heading for… Malad. This being the third Friday of the month is was the day for the board meeting at the bank. It was also Homecoming for Malad High School. We arrived just in time for the parade. Then
Hebrews 9:1-15 I’m not sure that the theologians who built the Narrative Lectionary aren’t at least a little bit sadistic. You may remember that last year at this time we were working our way thru Ruth. It’s a great story but how do you tell it without acknowledging what was actually going on under his
One last lazy day. Only one item on the agenda for the day. (OK, two items, but the second one wasn’t until evening so it doesn’t count.) We breakfasted at our favorite bakery and headed off to the Rijskmuseum – THE place for Dutch (and other) art with collections spanning from 1100 to 1900. (For
Today we had no set times so we felt free to sleep a little late, linger over breakfast (back to the bakery for more quiche), and make decisions as we went along. Also, we were a little sore. So we decided that taking advantage of trams was an OK alternative to spending another day walking
We slept in this morning (go figure) which compressed our itinerary a bit. Up, showered, and out the door we headed down the block and around the corner to a bakery that we had spotted yesterday. Cheryl had a veal quiche and I had a chicken quiche – and a chocolate croissant. Then, because of
We were up with the alarm (6:30) showered, packed and ready to leave the state-closet by 7:30. So we headed off to breakfast. We had a final breakfast with the friends from Arizona that we met the first night, said our good by’s and retrieved our luggage in time to leave our room (and the
Another slow morning. The first event following breakfast was the 10:00 “disembarkation talk” – telling us how to leave the ship, selling us half-price vouchers for futures cruises, showing us slide/video presentations of highlighted trips, etc. Following lunch we took a nap (the morning being so stressful) instead of packing. We’ll do that in the
Today started late. We were due to dock in Cologne by 8:30 but it was more like 11:00 when we finally arrived in port. As soon as we docked we headed out on a city walk. This is probably a good time to mention that Cologne was celebrating the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots of
