When you go to Monument Valley, take the horse tour. It is brilliant. You get to be alone with Tito and he'll explain to you why Indians don't grow beards, how Germans and Scots are described in the Navajo language, what the names of the valley's rock formations are, how an Indian's life is divided in four stages and what it means if a coyote is crossing your way. He will however not teach you how to look less ridiculous on a horse.

We checked out the Navajo Nation's National Park and booked a tour for the next day. We chose the horse tour. The three hour horse tour. On horses. Also we learned something about Navajos: they're not much into that smile-thing white people seem to be so fond of. Refreshing :-) Oops, sorry.

Another cabin and this time it's true love. Pictures cannot describe how cute this thing is. It has a kitchen with a table for two, a bath, a double bed, a TV and four bunk beds - on 8 square meters. Dammit, we should have tied it to our car when we left.
