Grand Canyon


My friends from Maine Charlie and Donna came to visit. We spent the week taking a bunch of different hikes around Phoenix (South Mountain) and then visited Sedona and Grand Canyon. This photo is of me checking out the view at the Grand Canyon February 27 2006.


We had a great time and Charlie and Donna found a new favorite restaurant called Chipotle. The word chipotle became a common verb used during the remainder of their trip being used every time someone ate too much and felt like they would puke if we did too much physical activity like, hike out of the Grand Canyon. The use of chipotle as a verb stemmed from a lunch time visit to our local Chipotle restaurant where we scarfed down some giant burrito's gorging ourselves to the point of ... puking! I told them, don't order the chips and salsa as the burrito's were big enough, but they didn't believe me. ;-)

We also did two hikes into the canyon which were awesome. We hiked part way down the South Kaibab trail and the Bright Angel trail. Both hikes were incredible and I'm ready to go back for another visit soon. Perhaps in a few weeks.
