Yesterday we left Albuquerque and stopped in Gallup. There wasn't much going on in Gallup. We walked the downtown area and bought a native Navajo rug. I didn't get a picture of the rug before the lady at the counter wrapped it but it's really pretty. It's mainly gray with some browns and blacks in it. It has a nice abstract pattern to it.
After driving through Gallup we stopped at the Petrified Forest National Park. It was a 28 mile drive of coolness. Check out the pictures below. Here we are at the entrance of the park.
You can see how open it is.
Here is the marker for the original Route 66.
More of the National Park.
Petrified Wod
This is called Blue Mesa. We walked to the bottom and then back to the top.
More petrified wood.
The sunset on the way to Flagstaff Arizona (but still in New Mexico).
I got to stand on the corner in Winslow, Arizona.
Here is the flatbed Ford.
After we left Winslow, we drove to Flagstaff, Arizona and spent the night. We ate dinner at a place called Buster's. Dave had the pork chops and I had the chicken caesar salad.
Today we went to Sedona, the grand canyon and then spent the night in Kayenta, Arizona.
This is the Grand Canyon.
I didn't realize it until we got to the hotel tonight but we both got sun burned from the grand canyon. Even our eyes hurt.
