Angels Landing: "I intensely dislike you right now"

**Update: Picasa is being annoying and the internet is really slow, so picture uploads will probably have to wait awhile.

Conor and I have just finished Angel's Landing, one of the most popular hikes in Zion.

I really, really want to make a Jewish joke here involving long amounts of walking and the word "Zion," but I can't think of one funny enough... Our hike was 4 hours, though. A little shorter than the original.

Anyway, we plan on taking the rest of the afternoon fairly easy, maybe napping, maybe swimming, maybe playing the guitar. Who knows? After a vertical climb at 8am, I'm down for some down time.

Conor's pictures on his good camera will probably not go up till the end of the trip - those are the ones with people in them. Namely, Conor and I.

A quick note: Conor, as potentially previously mentioned, is a teensy bit afraid of heights. So anytime we came around a wraparound or a ridge that was perilously close to the edge, I'd hear a great whoosh of air coming from Conor. When I was standing calmly on a summit (fear of heights is not among the hundreds of things that make me a rather pathetic weenie), Conor said to me, "I intensely dislike you right now."

Call it retribution for running my feet off yesterday, but the only thing I could think to say was, "God, it would REALLY suck to fall off right here."

Vegas tomorrow. 'Nuff said.
