The second week seems to be flying by. I love New Mexico it is by far my favourite state. Did I say that already?
Today we took a major detour and it was worth every second. We saw many tribal areas. A fed stray dogs and araven (one bird morphed into three). We got lost and found on route.
We decided to stop in at the painted desert, and a petrified forest where trees had fallen to the ground, buried and eventually resurfaced millions of years later as rock. I was expecting a forest. Doh! The painted desert was vast and extremely colourful. Imagine a flatter version of the Grand Canyon and you'd be thinking along the right lines.
We then headed to Gallup and not the best hotel but microwave pasta beckoned.
