Day 6- Time for Trains!

 Hello World- it’s me Owen, I’m back on my blog.

Today, we were in Durango. We waited to get on the train. It was pretty good, about 5 hours in total. The views were breathtaking. I got a hotdog, so the food was great too. I got to hang out with the break man, who told me all about how he uses flags for safety.

Then, we left Durango and headed to the Grand Canyon. We drove through a pretty boring. Everything is the same in the desert, rocky and hot. (Mom interjecting- the thermostat read 112 degrees at one part)

Then we arrived at the Grand Canyon! When when I laid eyes on it, I thought “Wow, that’s one heck of a canyon!”
