The NTA, as Armand's daughter has affectionately been called, did it again: she made room at the inn! Jesus would not have been born in a manger had his parents used the NTA for their travel needs. Annie got a room at Phantom Ranch and they will make their descent tomorrow morning.
She called a few minutes ago, just before breakfast with Armand. I know what she's craving: a non-fat, double cappucino-pronto! Father and daughter will then walk around the rim. "It's 20 degrees! I'm not really prepared for this! I need better shoes!S---! Bye, love you!"
REMINDER: If you spot Armand, take a photo and send it to me: [email protected] and I'll send gifts from Kona, HI, for the winning photo.
