Happy 2009! Here is a pic of where Lars and I welcomed the new year, on the side of the Grand Canyon. As you can see there was snow, about one foot on the ground. We were astounded to see that along nearly all of the rim of the chasm's vertical cliffs, there were no barriers. It was icy, and very dangerous, and we had to be very careful walking on the trails, not to slip down to a vertiginous death. We were planning to do a lot of hiking while we were there, but, we had to cut back on those plans, since we just did not have the necessary equipment for dealing with steep slippery trails. But even with all the snow and ice, it was an awesome site. Pictures can't do justice to the majesty of the place.

You know that you are living in an English speaking country again when you use the word "Vertiginous". :-)
