Pritchard-Pigott House. Greek Revival double-galleried town house at 1407 First St.
1137 Second St. This style of Victorian architecture was popularized in uptown New Orleans toward the end of the 19th century.I continue to enjoy the warmth of the southern sun as I read and type on the back porch. Today, however, my trusty Frommer's guide is making a bit nervous. I had hoped to never encounter any of these creatures, however they are found in and around the Grand Canyon: black widow spider, scorpion (giant hairy and bark), and rattlesnake (multiple varieties). And the jury is still out on the short-horned lizard that can squirt blood from its eyes up to three feet.
Short-horned lizard
Not all of the fauna scares me. For instance, I am looking forward to the possibility of sighting a mountain lion, bald eagle, peregrine falcon, or coyote (from a distance, of course). And all of the different cacti and desert flowers will be fun to get a look at, although they might not provide much shade on long hikes.

I read this before, but didn't post a comment, I guess. Now that you've been at the Canyon for a couple of months, have you seen any of those creepy, crawlies? Any scorpions in your shoes? Have fun.
