We arrived yesterday in red rock country, Utah, USA,  Moab to be exact. 

The drive from Pagosa Springs took us through passes and canyons, mountains on the horizon.When we arrived I could almost hear the collective sighs escaping from visitors to this magical place. 

It’s grandeur on a galactic scale. It reminds me of what our youngest daughter used to ask us on her first trip out west. “What country are we in?”

Can it possibly be the same one that includes Virginia? Doesn’t seem possible.
