The sun has rise,,, and the sun has set and here we is in Texas yet! 😎

We arrived in Abilene last evening, to see dear friends, and we are having a wonderful visit. I wanted to try to catch up a bit on yesterday's drive.

We had a nice stay in Albuquerque at a very nice hotel that had such a Spanish fell, that if we had closed our eyes, as we ate Tapas, we would have thought we were back in Spain.

As we drove south this was some of what I took from the car.

As we left the park we saw the fire that we had seen the smoke from the other side.

This is the old Route 66

This is what has happened to west Texas,,, windmills every where.

At the North Rim

Well we made it to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. 😎 only one issue no wifi and little cellular. I hope this will go out, as the power to receive pictures is not strong enough. Maybe I can send some we will try.

We are having a wonderful time just wish we could have done this when we were younger. This side really has some wonderful trails, but without proper shoes it is a bit to challenging for both of us, as the trails are rocky and steep. And then there is the altitude,,,,, we are at 8600 feet here! So we are still huffing and puffing,, even the staff says that the ones that have only been here a week are huffing and puffing. 😜

The views we have at this area are wonderful, and there are people, but none of the crowds that the people that came here from the South Rim have in countered.

Ok so I will first see what I can send. It wouldn't go out, so I will have wifi tommrrow at the south.

We could not get wifi so photos that I wanted to post I will have to see how to send them.
Meanwhile here are a couple;

We are on the way to the south rim, wow what a drive! Photos are not working for me.... More when I can.
