A few things on the menu today, including the Petrified Forest National Park in the painted desert. The everlovin' was less than impressed at looking at a few random logs in the desert, but I found the area fascinating and strangely beautiful (I've always had a soft spot for deserts). The colours were truly stunning in the petrified wood, and although it was an overcast day and the desert canvas wasn't at it's most brilliant, there were moments of true beauty.
The Navajo National Fair was winding up in Window Rock and we could have made it for the last days, but had to face reality - it was just too far out of the way. With some regret we continued east. Stopping in chilly Socorro, the everlovin' garnered many comments regarding his uniform of shorts and thongs despite the cold weather - the woman at the hotel told him to put on something warmer every time she saw him. She told us that Socorro grows red and green chilis, so when we headed out to dinner (Mexican) I ordered my enchilada with extra green chili's. It wasn't too hot at all, but totally delicious.
