How Much Did Kates Weave Cost

Day 12 - Four Corners & Monument Valley!

Parcorso: by Cortez (Colorado) Kayenta (Arizona), 170 miles (270 km). In

Today we still face a long stage of transfer which allowed us to visit two places as diverse as pleasant and charming! The first was a place in the desert called the "four corners" which basically is the point where neighboring Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona! in this place it is possible to be simultaneously (with an appropriate disposition of the limbs) in 4 states! The second Instead the place was Monument Valley, the landscape which provided the setting for many western movies and even some cartoons! ... Here are the (many) photos of today! I recommend you get scaled down because a lot but make far less ...

- Foschi's family ...

- a "stone" (actually called Mexican Hut) that seems about to fall ... maybe you do not remember all present in the animated film "Willy and The Coyote"?!?!

I Ate A Whole Bag Of Rice Cakes

Day 10 - Canyon Lands and Arches National Park!

Today we were in the vicinity of Moab (Utah) visited a couple of parks, one in the morning one in the afternoon (though in truth only a few seconds have visited the park, while others were enjoying the pool!). In the morning it fell to Canyon Lands which was formed by erosion caused the Colorado River in the afternoon it was the turn dell'Arches National Park: a series of stone arches arising from erosion caused by the various weather conditions over the centuries. In the evening we then went back downtown to eat a surprisingly good pizza! Here are the photos ...

- the Colorado River ... the "responsible" for creating the various Canyon seen on this trip!

- a view from the park to the Canyon Lands ... center is the erosion by the Colorado ...
