Day 36 (D-25) Monument Valley

Day 36 (D-25) marks the 9th day (Wednesday, June 26) of our travels in the USA and we'll leave Moab to head for Monument Valley.  Just imagine: we'll be in our coach going down this road!

Who has never seen this photo before?



And this one??  Some of my students have!  It goes back to 2010 when I took a group to the Far West and I visited Monument Valley for the first time.  
A fabulous place.  
Unforgettable.  Amazing.
Spellbinding*.  Stunning*.
Majestic.  Fantastic.
Captivating...  
Beautiful beyond words.


 In English we say: "A picture is worth a thousand words." 
So, here are two more pictures: you have two thousand words!  And you won't need a dictionary!*






Have a nice day.

My best,
Jane
