Thank God -- it was my turn.

Doug and Yvonne -retired farmers from Saskatchewan (usually some of my least favorites) - but they were inquisitive, humorous, and gregarious---- read: FUN ----

They've been together for 40 years. Doug torments Yvonne the same way he did when they were 22 ( it's a guy thing) . He said, "Every girl I ever dated dumped me, and this one probably will too" It's the way a guy says "I'm so glad you're still here"

They travel now.

They are well experienced ( read: they were on time and cooperative). They never complained. They were just fun to be with... Thank God.

AND - Doug still has someone in his picture. You rock, Doug! Good luck.

(notice the rising moon)

Two zombie sisters from London sat at the back of the bus and talked to each other all day - but they didn't annoy others. When the left they gave me $7. ( not "each") You are FOREVER banished to the Hall of Shame --you Zombie sisters with no names!-- if I were Her Majesty, I would send you to the TOWER - BYE!

Forever!

A lovely Vietnamese-American couple - Martin and Sophie live in D.C. He works for FDA approving medical devices - his office "approves" the valves used in artificial hearts. She's a teacher.

He found his job in the "Plum Book" -- check it out --- I spent hours in the Plum Book last Fall - no luck.

He followed the rules and got a job They are so cool. She asked some of the best questions I ever ever get --- like, "How do Native American tribes associate with each other compared to their association with non-natives?" "How are their languages, customs, religions similar/ dissimilar?" She made me work! Then - they paid me $40. They can come back every week!

Bret, an Aussie on a "Walk-About". Aussie Walk-Abouters are clever, gregarious, and fun. Great news- he's from Melbourne (like the dumb-dumb horse riders). So Melbourne has been redeemed! He's been on a walk-about for a year. He's been "couch surfing". It's a totally cool travel idea. G'day mate!

Everyone stayed on time and on schedule. I arrived at the park 2o minutes early, so I made a stop at Grandview Point. I haven't been there in a year. This group was good. Grandview Point on DesertView Road a special place.

Utah Juniper" Trees grow at Grandview Point. They live to 1000 years old. - and they don't complain. The people who lived at Grand Canyon before Europeans arrived burn the needles for prayer incense.
