Grand Canyon topside

WOW--don't know what else to say--no wonder it is one of the 7 wonders of the world.  Got onto the helicopter at noon for a one hour flight--Neil and I had the front seats--right next to the pilot--a little un-nerving as she looked to be about 16!!!!   What a fabulous ride and because we were right at the front we got to even see what was right below us!  Over the widest part of the canyon--to the east rim, then on to the north rim, closed right now because of the snow--then back around to the west and south rims.  After the flight we drove to the Grand Canyon village and along the rim--stopping often to just take it all in.(and take more pictures!)   Than back to see the Imax film which was excellent.  Grabbed some pizza and headed to Flagstaff---where we are right now at the Days Inn.  Tomorrow morning we are being picked up at 815 to go down inside the canyon to the bottom--along the Colorado river- -should get a different view from there.   More on that later.
