Lost in a desert in Arizona

Dear travel diary;

Today I find myself lost in the desert in Arizona, somewhere near the Grand Canyon.  The terrain is so dusty and dry.  The flowers in my garden back home would not like this at all!

Along my travels today I came across a real live cowboy.  He even let me sit on his horse!

Grand Canyon, AZ

Dear travel diary;

Today I find myself on the edge of the Grand Canyon in Arizona, USA.  I have never felt so small.  The canyon is 6000 feet deep!  It's really hard to imagine how deep that really is when you are only 8 inches tall.  The Colorado river is seen snaking its way through the canyon, cutting it deeply.  If you look carefully, you can see the odd helicopter tour flying throughout the canyon.  It's an interesting view, looking down on a flying helicopter!

I even took a walk on the "Sky Walk" bridge.  It's a cool horseshoe bridge that has a glass floor!
