Yesterday we headed down to Arches National Park - which is where they filmed the opening seqeuence for Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. I'll have to re-watch the film when I get back to check my photos against it - unless Kriss can do that as a final last man duty!
We bought a chicken salad for lunch at a local garage and it was HUGE! Had about 10 different veggies in it - which we enjoyed in our air conditioned car ;)
Wondering round the park we kept on seeing little lizards scuttling about. At first it was cute, but then I kept almost walking on them!
There's a giant balancing rock there too, which really is giant. When you starting walking round the outside of it you can really see the scale of it - then start to worry what you'd do if it fell down ;)
We also kept seeing little piles of rocks about the place. I figured it was visitors messing around and making little tributes to the park - so flicked a rock off the top of one to show it who was boss.
Then we saw a sign saying that the park rangers had put them there, to show people where the walking paths were. Whoops, sorry park!
So it was a interesting day out, but I almost got arrested for attacking the wild life and the park.
We headed back to the hotel for the late afternoon and washed our stinking clothes. How novel it is to pay to wash clothes!
Then into the hotel pool to splash around in the middle of the desert - take that nature!
Dominos supplied the pizza to go down with a local ale to round off the day

Pete is rather playing down his abusive nature towards the little lizards- he kicked one full on the head sending it flying and when that wasn't enough, he did it again- the swine!!!!
Woah - cruel ones. What did the lizards ever do to you. Leave those stones alone as well. Tut tut. Glad to see you well fed. Your salad beats Morrisons any day. We had a super time at Roberts wedding, very romantic and a good family day . Show you pics later. Kepp clicking we expect a full report. Somerset is current;ly very sunny but not quite as sunny as the US :(

Hi Alex and Pete. Thanks for birthday greetings. I ate your Australian Crunch in the end Pete, too long to wait! Am dead jealous of your hol, and I think the photo of you two at the top is fab, brilliant, lovely, or whatever the latest word is! Continue to enjoy!!
Mum: We sent Vicky & Dick a postcard with best wishes for Robert on it. Looking forward to seeing the pictures. The lizards may have been deadly, I was protecting my wife!
Thanks Geri, hope you had a good one! Australian Crunch... that's a classic taste, I'm looking forward to enjoying a good old cup of tea again in England.
