On the work front, I have invested in five companies, and it just so happens that the first deal started on the day after my last entry on this blog.. but enough of work, let me share with you our trip to the Grand Canyon..
The Drakensberg is no comparison.. don't let the Saffers tell you otherwise.. The Grand Canyon is truly amazing.. Its a powerful and inspiring landscape, the Grand Canyon overwhelms the senses through its immense size. It is the unique combinations of geologic color and erosional forms decorate a canyon that is up to 29km wide, and 1.6km deep. We actually visited it when it was snowing.. (Snow will be a theme on this blog for a while) The sight from the Canyon is continues for absolute forever..
We decided to fly in Phoenix for a weekend drive up to the Canyon.. and needless to say that when you live in San Diego, there is no need for very warm clothing. As a result we forgot to take much more than a light jacket with us.. Upon reaching a town called Williams, we were forced to stop to buy some gear.. and low and behold the only option available was the Family Dollar store (the equivalent of PEP in South Africa or well I don’t think there is a UK/London comparable.. so hence the yellow hat and the strange looking jacket.. at least I was warm..
Photo's dont really do this place justice.. you have to come visit it when you are travelling to the US. However, I have to say that what we really wanted to go to was the Skylight, where you get to walk out into the Canyon on a glass like structure.. That my freinds, is on an American Indian reservation and costs $100 to do so and about 4 hours from the Park itself.. Well Conde Nast, maybe next time..
