Grand Canyon Day 13

 I am so sorry--getting internet connection was too challenging, so I will try to catch up. Words to describe the canyon--MAGNIFICENT, UNBELIEVABLE, BEYOND DESCRIPTION. I stayed in 2 campgrounds which were both wonderful, and went to many ranger shows so I learned a great deal: the hisory and geology, the wildlife (had a visit at campsite of a pregnant elk), and learned about the park's part in saving the Condor from extinction, and fossils--more but I can't remember. I have some photos which I will share when I have help. I met some wonderful people, some to perhaps become long-term friends. Living at 7,000 feet was not as easy as it was when I was 22 and spent a summer at 9,000 feet! I get really tired and some occasional pains, dehydration because I was foolish--I'm  trying not to be foolish.

What do you call a belt made of watches? (A waist of time)

What kind of music do bunnies like best? (hip hop)

Please email or call me if I haven't talked to you lately.

Hugs, Alia

 Dear Voyage Followers, I am home in Florida and 3/4 unpacked and resettled, so I guess it is time to end this segment of my life's voyage; Coming home has it's challenges, but it is working, inch by inch. In some ways it is good to be back--in other ways, sad. I shall miss the journey, the friends old and new, and getting to know my relatives better. As beautiful and as wonderful this country is, the most special part of my trip was the personal connections, and the memories of each one. I can't really explain what was so special about the voyage, or why I am missing it so much. Back home, I am enjoying reconnecting with my friends here, (and all my doctors and other practitioners). I am healthy though often light-headed. I think I need structure--too much "nothing" in my life. I love reading and tending my little garden, but once I am settled I will need more. It is my intention to continue writing weekly, perhaps for my own sake, but welcome readers who wish to...

 At last I can write more--It has been a very long time!  I am now at Mackensie Bridge Oregon attending a Village Harmony singing camp for a week. The last week I spent in a campground near by, with trees over 100 feet tall--maybe even 150, since I paced one and got to where the tree had fallen across a road and was cut short at over 100 feet. It had the Mackensie river running through it, with most campers carrying kayaks and rafts--no one invited me to join them! I have realized that campgrounds are the most difficult because almost everyone is part of a couple, a family or close friends, so I miss my community more. When I drive or sleep in my car I do not feel so alone. Now I have many new friends, and received an offer to go to Washington State and have a free place to stay--maybe I will! The Pacific Ocean was beautiful, but cold for me, so I did not stay too long. I loved Crater Lake, where I took the trolley tour--a very good way to see it without driving!!! Then I had ...
