Kayenta to Tuba City (116 km)

Biking can also be a bit boring. That was our feeling today, 116 km with nothing in between but dessert like grassland, some distant mountains and straight roads to the horizon.

Once on the way we rested at a gas station and ate our lunch while Katrin was charging her battery. 4 dogs were strollin around the gas station, waitiig for some food. Katrin was very tempted to buy them a bag of dog food, as a kind of Thanksgiving meal for them. But Frank was strictly against it, he just was afraid, that then 4 dogs would follow us. 

The wind was from the side, ok. We would have driven further, but the only next place to stay did not answer the phone, they already were celebrating Thanksgiving. So we took a room in the nice Hopi Hotel in Tuba and enjoyed reading and writing.

For supper we went to the only open place in town, Denny´s. They had a special meal for this holiday, of course with turkey. Cheerfully we ordered it, but a few minutes  a sweeting waitress came back and told us, that the turkey was still frozen, someone has forgotten to get him out of the freezer!
