Where He leads...: And we’re off…

And we’re off…

Friday morning we headed south towards Fish River Canyon. I was there not too long ago with Falconer and probably mentioned then that it is the second largest canyon in the world (the Grand Canyon being the first). It is truly a spectacle to behold! Dad and Kelly were excited to see the landscape and stay at Cañon Lodge. We enjoyed resting and relaxing. There is not much to do around the area other than see the canyon and lounging around the lodge. That was perfect for all of us and exactly what each of us needed!

We spent the first part of Saturday driving around the various viewpoints at the canyon. I would love the opportunity to do the 4-day hike through the canyon. Maybe one day! For now, enjoying the view will have to do. We set out looking for the Sulphur Springs… if we found it, we never realized it. We did, however, find something sharp to puncture my tire. Dad graciously changed it. Kelly helped. I cheered them on.

We saw a ton of wildlife this trip! Ostriches, zebras, kudu, springbok, mongoose, a lizard, a klipspringer (or something similar), some funky chicken kind of thing and a jackal. That was especially exciting for them. We still have Etosha to look forward to, but I know that was already better for them than any zoo!
