Well enjoy the rest of your stay, Walter.
Sounds like a good, long holiday for you & Mrs H.
The stop-over in Munich sounds like one of those connecting from international to local flight situations.
Why do they always happen when you're really tired & just want to get home?
Me, a fellow Prussian? What did I do to make you insult me? (Prussia is the part of Germany North of the Main river, excepting Bavaria's North-of-the-Main counties. I spent most of my life well South of the Main.)
Well, you didn't know better ... (aside from a really good "Eiscafe" in Constance.)

@Thomas,
I insulted you, Thomas?
Let me assure you it was a mistake, completely unintentional, brought on by my ignorance.
My apologies.
But how was I supposed to know you'd spent most of your life south of the Main?
However this is absolutely no excuse for you to be rude & insulting to people who've spent their lives north of the Main!
dys had told me to be cautious with speeding when driving through the Navajo reservation.
So I did.
How can you know true joy when you haven't been stopped on the Reservation for speeding, and a cop looking remarkably like Cochise in uniform and a gun comes to your car and says "You take advantage of Indian - on Reservation". Try for diplomatic immunity is my suggestion.

So did you two get to see the Grand Canyon?

@dyslexia,

I smiled when Walter messaged me that he had been to Dead Horse Point today, In my mind, the single most incredible unknown nature view in the USA.
You mean like this, dys?
(I did a bit of Googling to see for myself.)
You're right.
Absolutely stunning.
THAT state park Dead Horse was worth 80% of this trip to Moab!!! (And all here really is worth to be visited!) And you were correct, here, too: only a few visitors, mostly foreigners. (Germans and a gang of Italians on motorbikes plus a few "educated" Americans = they knew what they were looking at.)
I can fully appreciate Walter's excitement, dys.
To experience something like this view (& in relative solitude, too) would be a truly awe-inspiring experience.
Wow, nature is downright gob-smackingly amazing sometimes!
