While on my trip to the Grand Canyon I kept a journal of my experience in order to create an after-the-fact travelogue. Presented over the next few days is an edited version + photo essay of my trip. ( First entry here) --- 6 Oct 2010 2022 Today was both overwhelming and underwhelming. Overwhelming because of how massive the park is. We barely scratched the surface and yet we felt very tired at the end of the day. Overwhelming at how many different nationalities were present. We heard french, german, japanese, vietnamese, and The Queen’s English. There was a constant cycling of tourists foreign and domestic at the Grand Canyon Village. To stand there is to constantly be surrounded by Grand Canyon green horns. It was also amazing to see so many animals. We saw a neat type of squirrel, a mouse/chipmunk thing, dear, a woodpecker, and a beautiful blue bird. It was so awesome - especially the blue bird. At the end of the day, it was amazing how dark it was and how many stars there were in the sky. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a camera that could properly capture the night sky. That’s why I want to get a film 35mm Canon camera.
