The Grand Canyon - We got robbed!

After some more stops around the Grand Canyon and more pictures taken, we drove back to the train station. Suddenly, something fell down to my lap (I sat in front for the drive back) - it was a butterfly!
It was hurt, so I cradled it carefully in my hands before letting it free again once we stopped. It wouldn't have survived the fast driving Jeep. Seversl souvenirs later, we boarded the train back again. It would take another 2,5hrs back to Williams. Again, we enjoyed the snacks and bad jokes of first class. We even saw an elk herd running next to the train. And then, the train stopped after we saw the cowboys from this morning riding alongside the train, shooting with their pistols. Our service lady let us know that they would come in 15mins to rob us. They would only take whatever we displayed very obviously for them to take. It was pretty funny to wait for being robbed and preparing some dollars for the cowboys to take. But I thought it was cute, especially (again) for the kids. When they came, they made a bit of a show, but it was way too cringey to not laugh. I've never had so much fun being robbed before, though!
After this joke was over, we were nearly back at the train station. A bit of musical entertainment with the other cowboys and a jodeling experience I'd never want to miss later, we were back in Williams.
Tonight, we were doing a barbecue (so some salad, corn and the rest of yesterday's pizza for me), which was a relaxing experience. Afterwards, the boys (Michael, Luca, Stephen), Katja and I played some UNO before calling it a late night.Read more
