No driving today as we were taking the 9.30am express from Williams to the Grand Canyon. We sauntered down to breakfast and entered the breakfast hall to be confronted by dozens of Koreans milling around the various breakfast bars. We were quickly shooed out and told to use the next door. Had we stumbled on a dog tasting morning, and why were there so many Koreans here?
