Rafting on the Colorado


Updated 2009

. After sleeping over night in a nice motel in Page Arizona we ate breakfast and boarded a bus that took us to Glen Canyon Dam where we board the rafts to take us down the Colorado River.   The tunnel is dark and long (about 3/4 mile).   It desends steeply down hill to the bottom of Glen Canyon Dam.   Two buses took all of us.   Here the second bus emerges from the tunnel.

. They told us of a place near by where you can see petroglyphs, carvings in the rock face made by the ancient people.   This particular carving looks like a self portrait.   The others look like food.

. On the way back from rafting Mrs, Lupita Montijo sees some of the students in the bus listening to music.   This group of students prefers to listen to music than watch movies..   One of the students asks Lupita to dance.   Lupita said yes.   When all the students were aboard the bus they all sat down to listen to the music and we continued on our way.
