Window Rock was a lovely place, I learnt a lot about the Navajo tribe and their cultural beliefs, many of which sit in alignment to my own. I fell in love with a painting called "White Shell Woman" by Shonto Begay. I wish I'd been allowed to photograph it cause it was beautiful!
I had picked Seligman on old Route 66 as my pitstop for the night. It seemed like a relativelybig dot n he map so surely it would be OK. I booked a room online and set off.
The drive was easy this time round, how quickly it becomes second nature to drive on the right hand side.
I made Seligman by about 5.30pm. I was told the were just two places to eat at night, one on the right side of the road and one on the left. As I was walking on the right hand side I stopped at The Roadkill Cafe (yes, ironic for a vegetarian) and funnily enough they didn't have any vego meals. I went across the road to Lilo's in the hope of finding something.
What I found was completely unexpected.
It happened to be one of the best nights of my trip! I sat at the countler and chose one of three vego options. The waiter, Jerry, was hilarious and a very big personality. The old man at the counter next to me, Dave, was lovely and even gave me a ride home at the end of the night.
Its often the unplanned, unexpected trips that can bring you so much joy!
