Built by the Ancient Pueblo (Anasizi) peoples, this ruin is one of the highlights of our visit to Canyon de Chelly today. It was built in the sheer cliffside of this magnificent canyon before the fourteenth century, at which time, the ancients left. Anthropologists are still wondering why they left.
We didn’t get to Monument Valley on this trip since we’re going to visit Canyon de Chelly tomorrow. However, there are monuments everywhere in this part of Arizona. This nice one is located just south of the Navajo town of Many Farms near US 191.
Today, we were in Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. At the same time.
Damsel taking pictures of the four state seals at the Four Corners Monument on the Diné (Navajo) Reservation.
Today, we drove along the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. After the cloudburst subsided, we got this beautiful view of the canyon through the mist. Breathtaking!
On Old Historical Route 66 in Seligman, AZ, we spotted this interesting cafe. We didn’t have the guts to look at the menu, (or the menu to look at the guts?)
Over the next few days, we will be posting one of the pictures from our summer vacation. Today, we stopped at Lake Havasu City, AZ and got this picture of the restored London Bridge:
When we visit Catalina Island (once or twice a year) we always shop along the main drag (Crescent Avenue) and some of the side streets and mini-malls. I like to get “Old Guys Rule” merchandise, since I pretty much identify with that thought process. OGR stuff is sold throughout Southern California, but is especially abundant on the island. 
There are Old Guys Rule t-shirts, license plates, coffee mugs, beer mugs, picture frames, towels, boxer shorts, hats and more.
Once in a while, an “Old Guys Rule” article will shrink (a lot of my stuff seems to shrink in the closet these days) and Damsel will appropriate it ’cause she likes the stuff too. It makes me feel good when she wears it since she lets me rule sometimes and I think it looks cute on her.
