A very nice day.  It began with a visit to a couple pueblo ruins - Salmon Ruins, and Aztec Ruins National Monument.  The ruins are the remained of 12-13th century pueblo built by the Anasazi people.  A pueblo is an apartment community built of mud-mortared stone, covered with a wood and adobe mud room, features several round rooms called kivas.

I then drove out west past Shiprock (a volcanic plug - lava hardened in the throat of the volcano, and the land around it eroded to leave a sharply steep massif), and to Kayenta, Arizona, to then drive north through Monument Valley -- one of the most spectacular drives I’ve had.
