Where the snakes and scorpions roam by
June 2002
No, it’s not Mars. This is a picture of a small part (!) of the Grand Canyon taken from about 39,000 feet in the air. We flew over it two days ago on the British Airways flight that whisked us from London to Phoenix (if flying for ten-and-a-half hours can be considered "whisking"). Along the way, we saw ice floes around Iceland, mountains and glaciers in Greenland, and this - some of the most incredible views of the Grand Canyon imaginable. As far as scenery went, it was a fantastic flight. We live on an amazing and awe-inspiring planet.
And now we’re in Arizona, where the iced tea flows in rivers, it’s one hundred degrees (Farenheit!) in the shade, and it’s a matter of course to eat burritos the size of your head. Cool. It’s nice to be home.
