Red earth upside-down mountain
Melissa and I spent most of yesterday in and around the Grand Canyon. It was an international smorgasbord and we figured the splendid natural backdrop would be an interesting place to ask about human-made creations. And we think we were right.
It also made me very happy we’re doing our project on youth and technology here in the U.S. because Europeans….at least the ones we interviewed…..are not fond a technology.
So here are some interview snippets and portraits from the rim of the most spectacular of natural wonders……..

Number 1: TAKING A DAY OFF
Awesome idea. And awesome accent.
Number 2: THE SOURCE OF ALL THE WORLD’S PROBLEMS
???? from Belgium. Can you understand her name?
Number 3: IT’S THE PEOPLE, STUPID
Do they have John Deere tractors in Belgium?
Number 4: FINALLY, AN AMERICAN
A stoplight. Is that too much to ask?
Number 5: TECHNOLOGY DOWN UNDER
Andrew from Australia.
Number 6: WHAT HE SAID
Daniel's opinion was unduly influenced by his Aussie colleague.

Love the interviews. Especially the John Deere guy, mainly because of the hat/accent combo:)
Good work.

I second Ken. Belgium “wins.”
Who knew a trip to the Canyon could be such an international adventure! Hope you took time to ride the hop on/off bus–that was my favorite when I visited (that and the fact that there aren’t guard rails all over the place–the gal that wants a stoplight…how ’bout guard rails at the GC to keep me from pushing my brother over the edge! Although it does keep the place looking ‘natural’.)
