WEST COAST… I LOVE YOU – MONUMENT VALLEY

Maybe the most beautiful place I've seen in this trip and one of the most incredible visited in my life. Monument Valley is a extraordinary place. It's a little bit out of the classic itinerary of west coast but if you can, you must come here. I wish you to see it in a sunny day as we do. Colours are wonderful. Another peculiarity is that in Monument Valley still leave Natives. Even if we are in Utah state, they have just 8 hour minus instead of Italy because they don't use daylight saving time. Coming here is like to do a leap into the past, in western films that everybody saw at least once in his own life. In fact in the lodge where we went, once stayed also the western film's actors.
It's truly a magic place. Also the food is particular: they eat above all natives dishes that have mexican influences and the portions are very big! The unmissable tacos, the fantastic fried bread, very good also for breakfast. Strong flavors and tastes for a unique cuisins, a mix between old traditions and new american food. A fantastic couple! 
Monument valley is an unmissable place and if you want to learn more, contact me! See you soon at next stop!
