Monument Valley and scary dams!

The classic "American Roadtrip" shot! Monument Valley

Drove through Monument Valley which was really cool! Didn't see any cowboys and Indians though - although it felt like they could pop out from behind a rock at any minute, and Paul sang the Lone Ranger all the way down the road, haha!

From Monument Valley we carried on about 80 Miles to Page, Arizona. We went to the Glen Canyon Dam Visitors Centre and found out we were just in time to join the free one hour tour!! We walked out on top of the dam and Helen thinks she was very brave considering dams make her itch, haha! At 700ft high that's a whole lot of itching!! Jude - if you're reading this I hope you're proud!! You'd have hated every second of it!!

Drove a bit further on to a point that overlooked Lake Powell

and then drove back into Page to find somewhere to stay for the night.
Have entered another time zone now, so we're now 8 hours behind the UK.

We're now setting off to the Grand Canyon, South Rim.

Can hopefully add some more pictures when we're not using the world's most temperamental computer!!!
