Pictures Kingmann to Gallup

As promised in the previous post (in Dutch), I will post some pictures now. It has been a fantastic trip up to now. Today the trip went so smoothly that we have enough time to spend at the pool and to post some pictures on the blog. Today we drove from Amarillo to Wichita Falls... our gps told us this would be a 5 hour drive, but I think they had it wrong since we arrived in a good 3 hours of driving.
So here we go with the pictures from the trip between Kingmann and Gallup

Yes indeed, we had thunderstorms and rain on our way to Flagstaff

Flagstaff was indeed the nice little town my mother said it was (she visited like 20 years ago).


On our way we visited Sunset Crater. Here we could see dried lava and how the lava stream had come down the mountain. Very interesting... and also so hot over there it was hard to stay outside for a long time. So we just did the short walk instead of the long one.


Again at Sunset Crater.

While we were at it, we also visited the Moon Crater. This big hole in the ground is made by a meteor a long time ago. Amazing how big this was... Inside the museum we had a show that explained a lot about meteors, so Axelle got some idea about how this had happened.

When we almost reached our destination, we came accross this big rock formation, Window Rock. Amazing isn't it?
