Day 6: Saturday towards the Grand Canyon

After a late night we were off to a lethargic start. After recovering the car from the valet (yes, posh, but isn’t that what they do in the movies) we headed south to an factory outlet shopping centre going to grab a bargain. No, similar prices to what we can get in Aus if you shop smart. We then headed out of Vegas to the Hoover dam. Pretty impressive. Lucky we got in before the traffic jam we saw as we were leaving. Cars were banked back for over a mile waiting to get in.

I need a wider angle lens!

Next stop was Seligman, a tiny town on Route 66 where we had lunch at ‘The Road Kill Cafe’.

Continuing on, we arrived at the Grand Canyon after dark, so we’ll have to wait till tomorrow to see it.

The weather has continued to be quite warm and sunny, although it’s getting cold out tonight.

Little things we’ve noticed – Part 2:

  • These people don’t drink much milk. It’s quite hard to find in the convenience stores. And orange juice. Plenty of soft drink and alcohol, but nothing more healthy.

    Hi Col
    I hate to interrupt but was wondering about the Physics assessment task as it is supposed to be on this Wednesday and it is now Monday here.
    Cheers Deb
