Moab, UT

Yesterday was a busy day in Moab. After our morning rafting adventures, we came back to camp for lunch and a quick nap. In the afternoon, we drove over to Arches National Park and did the driving tour, stopping for a bit of rock climbing at Double Arch.
It was pretty cool to be under an arch, although we were hoping that it wouldn't collapse while we were sitting there. We didn't get to see any Bighorn Sheep or Collared Lizards, even though we were looking for them. Most of us got a nap on the way through the park, which was good, because we made a fast change in the parking lot of the visitor's center to get ready for Mass, which was at St.Pius X in Moab. It was a small building, and most of the people there were just visitors.

After Mass, we went for a walk in downtown Moab, looking for cheap t-shirts and the like. We found lots of cool stuff, but didn't really buy anything, not even any postcards (gasp!). This would have been a cool t-shirt to get, but I guess I'll have to do with a picture:


Today we are going to Canyonlands and maybe a few other touristy places, depending on where the road takes us. More, later!

    Just posted a raft picture yesterday too. Moab's stretch of the Colorado River is inviting these summer days.
