Continued dreaming about falling off the Grand Canyon!  Anyway, breakfast at El Tovar was an experience: waitresses were unattentive, Vick was burnt on her arm when the coffee was refilled, and my eggs were underdone!

Well I wish I hadn’t started reading that blasted book - ‘Over the edge’.  Neither Vick nor I could think about anything other than slipping off the Bright Angel trail and falling to our deaths!  What a dreadful night!

Slept ok last night.  Didn’t wake until about 8am again.  Although we have over 150 miles to do, it was all by Interstate so wasn’t a problem.
