We left Page bright eyed and bushy tailed after our 3 days there and we’re off to Monument valley and then Canyon De Chelly. Tim had already been to Monument Valley and had taken some amazing photos so I was keen to see the real thing. It didn’t disappoint. S

Canyon de Chelly
Today started off with a hike down and back up Canyon de Chelly. We wanted to camp here last night but a spectacular thunderstorm put pay to that idea and we spent the night in a hotel instead (safe). The canyon isn’t the biggest or necessarily the most spectacular but it does have a magicalContinue reading “Canyon de Chelly”
Beef Jerky
The munchy of choice for driving and we are definitely becoming addicts! T
Drive Ins do exist
We haven’t actually partaken yet but we are certainly tempted. But it’s great to see that some of these American icons do exist.n when we find one with the waitresses on roller skates we will definitely give it a go! T Edit
Drive to Texas
We have covered quite a lot of miles in the last two days after Canyon De Chelly, with not a lot to show for it. We are literally in the middle of nowhere and have now passed into Texas.

Today we followed up a recommendation for the best BBQ in the area and ended up at Llano at Coopers Old Time BBQ pit! The town itself only had a population of about 3000 but as we arrived at Coopers we could see that the car park was full and there was a huge queue.Continue reading “Coopers Old Time BBQ Pit”
Austin
We had heard Austin was the alternate hub of Texas and the live music capital of the world. It certainly lived up to its name! An amazing city that would have to come in at a close second to NY for me to live in. On the first night we caught an Uber to theContinue reading “Austin “
Breaux Bridge
It was sad to leave Texas, we had really been pleasantly surprised as to how greatly it exceeded our expectations, between the music and the BBQs we have a lot of great memories. But it’s with a great a degree of excitement that we arrived in Louisiana and while we were both very keen toContinue reading “Breaux Bridge”
