And on the first day . . .

we wandered through the desert. We started by driving up to the Valley of Fire. We stopped along the way by the side of the road where we married. Even after some 15 hours of marriage, we each said that we'd do it all over again. ;-) Valley of Fire was beautiful and was followed by a drive through Zion National Park and then down through Kanab and along the foot of the Vermillion Cliffs, Marble Canyon, the Cliff Dwellers and into Page, Arizona.

It was a pretty long day and I'll fill in with more details (and I -wish- I had the capability to post some pictures now) when we have a chance to take a break. We are headed out shortly across the top of the Vermillion Cliffs and through Grand Staircase Escalante to Bryce Canyon. We need to be back in Vegas by about 7:00 for our flight out.

Kara is feeling well for the most part - overall she feels better than she has in a year, but the incisions still bother her from time to time and she is working on getting her stamina back up.

Okay, gotta go hit the road.
