Monument Valley
The following day, after a short and common morning row (this is the gossip requested by Jane!!) over sticking to the daily planning (MBTI type "J") or being flexible and follow the flow (MBTI type "P") we managed to enjoy ourselves driving through the monuments and visiting a couple of empty "Hogans", the Indians traditional octagonal houses.

We drove on in the afternoon to visit the ruins of an anciant Indian village in the 120m arch of a canyon.
Our "wild" campsite was just off the side road into forest - without anybody else there. The kids - following their junior ranger training - managed to collect three bags of trash that we had to take with us.
The following morning after school (not without crying and nashing of teeth since we had to write a short essay about the Navajo - not liked very much by Lilly and Anna!) we drove on to Page at Lake Powell to possibly rent a boat for a couple of days and go off camping on the huge lake system (apparently the coast line of the artificial lake is as long as the entire Pacific coast of the US!!)

But before arriving at the lake Kate had obviously found ou about some other amazing sight seeing opportunity: the Antilope Canyon!!
Cléo’s account:
We were in Antilope Canyon. It was very nice. The water came down to make lovely forms and some people were dead in it (got taken away by a flash flood - sic). And there was a dinosaur foot print.
We went down into the canyon - it was very nice. I liked the lovely forms. The were made by the water and the wind. A man played nice music on a guitar while we were down in the canyon (Pink Floyd!!).
