Navajo Nation


Well I set out this morning to learn all about the Navajo people at their fancy new museum and culture centre in Tuba City only to find that it is closed for the winter. So off I tootled instead through Monument Valley. Everybody who has ever watched a western has seen this valley, nevertheless in the flesh it is pretty fantastic. The whole days driving was majorly impressive such that by the end I got a bit blase about the whole desert scene, what with so spectactular canyons, multi-coloured cliffs and giant buttes and spires of red rock.


I have spent my fair share of time driving through snow drifts and heard that Dallas has just had a big fall which is cooling the Texans down a bit. I am rather glad that I am not yet in the north-east of the country though!
