Williams, Arizona-October 28, 2011

We arrived in Williams, AZ this afternoon. The wind was not a problem but the interstate was really rough with lots of holes. That can mean lots of really bad weather or way too many heavy trucks. Who knows? Willliams is the "gateway to the Grand Canyon". It's a cute little town that relies solely on tourism to exist. We have booked seats on the train going to the Grand Canyon tomorrow morning. We'll be in the observatory car. We are not early risers anymore so it will be an interesting morning getting ready. As much as the tickets cost we definitely will not miss this train! It's an all day trip. Much to our annoyance we left our winter clothes in a storage unit in Colorado so if it gets too cold tomorrow we will just have to bite the bullet and buy sweatshirts or freeze. If it's only in the mid 50s we will be fine and love every minute of it. Care to guess how many pictures we will probably take tomorrow? Derrick has landed in Hong Kong and is close to boarding his flight to San Francisco. This is not good on a mother's nervous system.  Can you imagine what our Thanksgiving will be like with all of the pictures we both have taken? It should be fabulous fun sharing our experiences.
