MONUMENT VALLEY

Wow what can I say.  We spent the night here and had dinner out in the desert surrounded by some wonderful formations and then watched the sunrise the next morning between some of the most photographed.

Monument Valley is on the Navajo reservation lands and our dinner had been prepared and served by local folk.  After dinner one of the tribesmen spoke and sung for us and we were able to ask questions.  It was very interesting to hear their story. 

The John Wayne western She Wore a Yellow Ribbon was filmed out here along with another 30 odd but the Duke's cabin in the film was behind our hotel so of course one of his biggest fans had to meet him.
