Day 8: The Grand Canyon and Lowell Observatory

The sun shone down on the Grand Canyon today, and the moon brightened our view from the Lowell Observatory, lucky for us we were there to witness them.
With a start at 6 am, one would think a group full of teenagers would be cranky and tired, but we were all far from it. The excietment in spending the entire day in the sun woke everyone up, but mentioning that we were going to visit the Grand Canyon, that brought smiles to our faces. Visiting one of the natural wonders of the world was truly an incredible experience. The vast colors that have formed due to the erosion of rocks that create the Grand Canyon made every viewing point 'majestic' (Winston).  All together, the day was fun and well spent.
We continued our day after the Grand Canyon by going to a Mexican & American restaurant for dinner. The food was not bad, however, several of us felt unwell after. Dinner ended with a drive to the Lowell Observatory. The Observatory had two incredible telescopes that allowed us to look at the planet Jupiter, which was pretty awesome. Well that was our day, hope you folks back home enjoyed your day too. BUT OURS WAS MORE EXCITING!
