A visit to the Desert View Watchtower on the eastern portion of the Grand Canyon’s South Rim. Constructed in the 1930s, it offers magnificent canyon views and a tie to the Native American history of the Canyon.
I was visiting a friend, and this was the view from their house. I could understand why they built their house facing this direction. I was taken by the beauty!

GarryRF, You must try the King (Elvis Presley’s) favorite sandwich. Peanut butter and banana, fried in butter. Forget about the cholesterol — give it a go. It’s much better than it sounds!
Part of the joy of traveling is trying the food. Like “pudding” with your full Irish breakfast (don’t ask if you don’t know). I remember driving through rural southern Australia and seeing the following sign at a restaurant: “Bugs, $10”. I don’t know about you but I wouldn’t pay anything for a plate of bugs. Found out these were actually a type of shellfish, like a big shrimp. But with a name like “bugs” I didn’t try them.
The banana in butter, rum and sugar sounds appealing. Will need to give that a try sometime.
And a happy thanksgiving to my friends who started such a wonderful website.
Yes DrF…. Those Ozzies have some strange habits ! First time in Coogee Bay Hotel Sydney I ordered Steak and Chips (Fries)
Guy showed me a Tupperware Picnic Box full of raw steak. You choose, then he puts it on a plate for you. You take it outside to the “Barbee” (BBQ). You cook it how you like it. Then come back in for your Chips and salad !
I stopped at a Restaurant in Bondi Beach and the waiter asked me if I would like a bottle of wine with the meal. “Yes please” I said.
“Well git ya self across the street to the Bottle Shop and buy one”
I thought he was being a bit strange – but that’s normal I believe.
Some Restaurants have BYO signs – bring your own – and the waiter will give you the wine glasses! Loved them Roo Burgers too !
I’ve tried whole Banana fried in Butter. Squeeze half an orange into the pan, Add dark Cuban Rum, Cane Sugar and flame it ! And served on the beach too. No… not on the beach in Liverpool !!
By “pudding” I presume you mean Black Pudding – now there’s something to upset the Tourists !!
I really enjoy Thanksgiving Day when I’m staying with my American family over there.
Some of the food you have that I’ve never seen in England ! You wouldn’t think our cultures could be that far apart ! Ambrosia with Turkey ? Pumpkin Pie ? Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches ? And I’d love a piece of that beautiful Apple Pie – but why the Cinnamon disguise ?
Hope you all have a wonderful day folks ! Me ? – I’m off to work as normal !
