We started our Saturday adventure at 9:30. Our first stop was a Native American flea market with over 100 booths selling a wide variety of items including food (do you like lamb? Or popcorn that tastes like cereal?), blankets, art, tools, knives, bunnies and much more.
The next stop was Window Rock in Navajo Nation in Arizona. This is also the headquarters for the Navajo government. We had lunch here, and many ate on a big rock nearby (hard to explain).
We then drove an hour to Canyon De Shelley, a spectacular canyon. Many photos were taken but cannot due justice to the beauty. We hiked the White House trail. This 2.5-3 mile trail winds down the side of canyon wall. After a short walk on the floor of the canyon we came to ancient Indian dwellings (1000 years old) built into the side of the cliff. The hike back out of the canyon really tested our lungs.
We drove the 1 1/2 hour drive back to Gallup to eat dinner at Earl’s, a local favorite. Due to our big day we didn’t eat until 7:00pm. Afterwards we had some “chill” time back at our dorm. Our group devotions are at 9:00pm.
