Another wee pic of the Grand Canyon!
On re-reading bit about Santa Fe, I feel I did it an injustice. It was splendid. I think I was just tired from all the driving and getting lost so many times yesterday.
But after a good night's sleep I think I can say that Amarillo is not a classy town. Sitting eating breakfast out of plastic plates and cups while the T.V.  blared overhead is not one of my favourite experiences. However the Quinta is our second cheapest hotel after Vegas.
Just as you are about to say aren't Americans a friendly wholesome bunch you have a disaster like the Colorado massacre. Now any country can have a massacre; it is not peculiarly American but the response is.
Firearm sales are surging as a result of the movie massacre. People are buying concealed arms by the bucket load so they can protect themselves and their children if they are in a position like what happened in the picture theatre.
Great, instead of one nutter and twelve dead people we have hundreds of nutters and thousands of dead people.
People are debating gun laws and flags are flying at half mast but nobody is doing anything.
As anyone who knows me knows that I am not a John Howard fan but after the Port Arthur massacre many years ago he changed our gun laws.
