Four Corners
A late morning. A liesurely breakfast - excellent breakfast, I might add. It looks like the whole town is eating out this morning. We wander the streets, enjoying the small town feel of Route 66. We try on hats and I end up buying a Stetson. Now all I need is a gun. The wife says a guitar would be better. But alas, I am not talented in that direction, so I guess I will stick to the gun.
We miss Meteor Crater because we take the wrong road (two GPS units, a laptop with Microsoft maps and a bunch of printed maps in the car and we still take the wrong road - don't say it, I know!). We end up at Sunset Crater instead and then decide to press on.
We get to Four Corners, which is just a spot for you to take pictures and buy souveniers. Apparantly, it allows you to be in four states at once. Of course, this can also be achieved with psychedelic drugs - you can then be happy, sad, euphoric and delusional all at once!
We head south from there to Shiprock to see the rock formations and then back up towards the arches. It's late by the time we reach Moab (we lose an hour too) and we decide to stop for the night. Tomorrow, we will hit the arches.
Our trip has now taken us through seven states so far : Oregon - California - Nevada - Arizona - New Mexico - Colorado - Utah. For a total of 2378 miles ( 3805 Kms). Let's see what the morrow will bring!
We had some funny moments in the car today. We were telling Calvin Sardarji jokes (for the uninitiated, sardarjees are the people with the best sense of humor in India and so we make jokes about them; it's similar to the blonde jokes in America). After a while, we realized that he was refering to sardarjee as "Son Georgie". Our son is becoming Americanized!

Bahaha @ Calvin. I never really got Indian jokes because people had to explain them to me, which basically kills the punchline. That four states at once thing is pretty cool.
Which four states thing? Crouching like a constipated goat or taking the easy way with some LSD?
Good choice selecting the gun. Real cowboys didn't carry guitars. (Now banjos...)
..you would prefer gun...hmmm seems you have got expeience with them...Where did you get that experience...??
Umm excuse me, where are more posts?
What is this Calvin stuff? When I make a blog... ...you'll be sorry!
No really, you'll be sorry. Make that very sorry.
