these are some pictures of the drive to and from page. unfortunately, there was a huuuge rain storm. which was awesome, in some ways, but sort of frustrating in others. i wanted to go swimming at lake powell (against edward abbey's guidance) and go to horseshoe bend, both are things that you can't really do in the rain. luckily, sarah and michelle kept me in good spirits and - also - in many ways the rain was the best part. driving to page was really hot - you're in arizona, like, the arizona you imagine and dream of. mesas, sand, and... nothing. so it's hot. after we got onto 89 north at cameron, the storm started forming. we could see the storm from miles away and when we finally got into the rain, we pulled over, jumped out of the car, and ran around in the rain and hail for a minute or two. i imagined myself as a hot skillet that you put into cold water and it sizzles. it felt good. there will be more pictures along this drive as the summer rolls on.
i don't think you can ever understand what arizona looks like until you come here. i just don't think it's possible for people, especially from the east coast, to understand.
little colorado gorge. the brown thing at the bottom is the river. since it's not as wide as the grand canyon, it especially just looks like just a big tear, crack, scar on the earth.
