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!

I was in Puerta Vallarta in June last year.
Not the friendliest place I’ve been to.
It was a busy working city.
Not the sanctuary of paradise I was expecting.
Very disappointed.
So many arrogant people.
I was moved twice from room to room in 2 weeks.
Each time the Staff at “Secrets” said it was for building repairs.
Each time a Wedding Party with 4 adjoining rooms moved in.
The Hotel told my tour operator it was my own fault for asking to be moved.
