28 Days of "What's Best?" ~ Day #10

Are we going to do ANYTHING today???

I awoke in anticipation of my visit to the slot canyons and capturing that shot.  On a long run with Dolce on the rim trail around the mesa that founds the city of Page, I am assaulted by 25 mph winds, sand pelting hard against the back of my legs usurping the need for a spa exfoliation treatment anytime soon and thunderclouds dribbling rain.  Brief internet research confirmed that today was not the day to capture THE shot.  I call the tour company asking about the probability of THE shot and am accosted by a rude saleswoman telling me I would still have to pay if I “no-show” and that yeah, duh, with this wind my camera would likely be damaged beyond reapir due to sand infillitration caused by blustering wind.  We bantered about the refund policy and the fact that I was not informed of it etc…she reluctantly (after hanging up on me without confirming my name/details) agreed not to charge me. 

Day #10: What’s Best? ~ staying in the RV all day reading, writing and relaxing with Dolce.  (My personal “3 R’s”) and a good excuse to do the laundry.
