Grand Canyon at day - June 2

Today we went to the Grand Canyon to see it during the day and my experience was quite different from last night's. My mother is feeling sick and wasn't able to join me, so I walked along the south rim of the canyon and found a quiet place with an amazing view. Pictures can't do justice to the Grand Canyon. No matter how beautiful the pictures, they can't give you the same feeling as standing on the edge of a steep precipice under an endless sky and staring down into a one-mile deep chasm just beyond the tips of your toes. I've found that a beautiful site in nature is best enjoyed in silence. Words could never do justice to the experience and I guess that's one reason I travel.

The Grand Canyon at day. Words can't describe the feeling of standing on the edge of a one-mile chasm.

The young boy in the orange shirt almost gave his mother a heart attack by jumping off the trail and inching his way to the edge of this cliff.

Since my mother is not feeling well, we drove just 70 miles to Williams, AZ and found a comfortable hotel. Staying healthy is much harder when we're on the road because our daily routines have been disrupted. We can't eat the healthy, home-cooked meals we're used to and we sleep in a different place every night. But we're careful and eat lots of fruits and vegetables and rest whenever we feel tired, so things have worked out well.
