Next stop on our journeys was Monument Valley in the Navajo Indian Reservation.
The Navajo are a semi-autonomous nation spread over several states, given much freedom to govern themselves. We stayed in Kayenta where we ran into some fellow Witnesses at the hall near our accommodation. They took us to a great place called El Capitan which is a old volcanic cap. The actual volcano had eroded away but had left a great big volcanic rock formation where the lava had settled. The climb to the top was treacherous at times but the views were spectacular.
Food watch: Navajo Tacos at Gouldings. Yummy. Best way I can describe it is that it is like an overloaded pizza but lighter and tastier. The crust was awesome. Mmmm... Thanks to Fernando and the gang for a great day!
We finished off the day with a tour of Monument Valley which features monolithic masses of rock protruding out of the flat desert sand at seemingly random intervals. Makes for spectacular views and and really puts your own insignificance in perspective compared to these giants of the desert. If you are a John Wayne nerd or have watched such movies as Back to the Future Part III and Forrest Gump, you will have seen this vista as the backdrop of some great scenes in those movies.
