Remember the ostrich egg? We had it for breakfast today. Mom, Shezena and Aisha went out to the grocery store this morning, and Dad stayed in the RV to make breakfast. He made eggs, or really, egg. We had kinda forgotten about the ostrich egg and thought Dad had just made regular eggs. When we got back he said he made eggs and asked if we were ready to have breakfast. We said yeah and sat down to eat. It looked a little strange, but we didn't say anything. It tasted good, but something was a little bit different with it. In the middle of eating we realized we were eating the ostrich egg. He thought it was pretty funny. When you cook it, ostrich egg is a little clearer than chicken eggs and it has a meatier texture. We all liked it. One ostrich egg is equivalent to about two dozen chicken eggs though, so we have more to cook for tomorrow. Dad took the egg out in such a way that the egg is preserved and we can keep the egg as a souvenir. We got back on the road again today. Today's destination: The Grand Canyon! We were going to skip this one, but who can skip a national landmark? We got in the park around noon and it didn't seem like anything special until you get to a point where the trees clear and everything comes into view. Oh my God! It was incredible! You really cannot describe the view, and a picture does not do justice. It was breathtaking.
We went to a few viewpoints and there was one with a short trail that you could go down and see the canyon unobstructed. The kids wanted to go down and see it, so Dad took them but just a few minutes later they came back. Ameer was looking glum and we asked them why there were back so soon. Ameer said, "We can't go down there because Dad is scared." Every time someone went near the side to look over Dad nearly had a heart attack.
We spent the whole day there. It was gorgeous. This trip just keeps getting better and better.
