More wonder at Arches National Park yesterday and then a drive through the Valley of the Gods to Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park just across the border in Arizona.We are lucky enough to be staying at the only hotel in the park (The View Hotel), so we’re spending the night among the monolithic rock formations. It is now pitch black, the sky is filled with stars and there is not a sound out there. Just some tourists and the Mittens. Wow!
This is Navajo territory – the reservation is the largest in the US. The landscape is barren, rugged, lunar, desolate, lonely, abandoned. Millions of years of natural forces have created this and all we have to do is breathe it in.
As I sit at my desk at college, in an office / cupboard without a window, all I can say is WOW!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your journey with us all. The experience is clearly amazing for you both -how fortunate you have been given some time to explore the US and escape the gloom of the credit crunch!
Spring has arrived in the UK - beautiful!!
Take care,
