August 11, 2006
Got groceries for my last week! Drove to Monument Valley, one of the most photographed spots in the world. It is beautiful, but not very accessible. I took a few pictures but so many famous and talented photographers have already done it. There is a 17 miles dirt road, after yesterday, I wasn’t in the mood. So I checked out the visitors center, inquired about jeep and horse rides and decided to do neither. I went to a nearby trail head parked and read the afternoon away. I had to finish Metro Girl by Janet Evanovich. It was fun. About 4, I went to the Navajo Market and bought a pair of earrings. Then was trying to put on some miles. I stopped in Kayenta and looked at a mini museum, with hogans and the storm came. I’m sitting in a parking lot waiting for it to pass and will probably drive a bit more before bed. I love to watch these storms. So many hotels have wifi now, just park close by and I have access. Tomorrow Vermillion Cliffs.
