Utah and Arizona Road Trip: August 12-17

So, now I’m on the bus heading back to London from Wales, and as breathtaking as the scenery is, there are only so many grassy green fields and cows and sheep one can look at before one needs to cut it out and stare at a computer screen instead.

At least, that’s how things go when “one” is me, because clearly office life has broken my soul into a million tiny pieces and no amount of travel or love can glue it back together again.

Ahem.

As I was saying, I’ve been productive during my 3 1/2 hours in transit, cleaning up the next section of diary notes from my southwestern US road trip. Here are the rambling, long-winded results. You should probably pull up a comfy chair and make some tea before embarking on this novel-length multi-day journal entry. Enjoy!

(Monday, August 13th – Arches National Park and Mexican Hat)
