Captured Moments in the US of A
(May 11-14, 2006)

"To stand upon the edge of this stupendous gorge, as it receives its earliest greeting from the god of day, is to enjoy in a moment compensation for long years of ordinary uneventful life."
Stoddard, John 1898

"...a descent into the Canon is essential for a proper estimate of its details, and one can never realize the enormity of certain valleys, till he has crawled like a maimed insect at their base and looked thence upward to the narrowed sky."
Stoddard, John 1898

"The spectacle is so symmetrical, and so completely excludes the outside world and its accustomed standards, it is with difficulty one can acquire any notion of its immensity."
Higgins, C. A. 1886

As we stepped out of the SUV, we were like a team raring to fight a Superbowl game. The moment our sights took a gaze at the Grand Canyon, we all sat there and allowed the moment wrap us all up in its grandeur.

There are a lot of places in our travels that have taken my breath away, the Grand Canyon ranks among those at the top.

The Grand Canyon taught me one thing : "If water can shape giants mounds of rocks to look like these, what more can One Supreme Being shape a mere human being like me."

We can only thank our Tito Rhante and Tita Mita for the experience of a lifetime...their precious time and the long drive was worth it for us to experience something we'll tell our kids again and again in the future.
