June 26, Tuba,AZ






A woman that works for the campground told us about a large Navajo flea market every Friday. So we decided to go. One of the woman had a trailer there and was cutting hair for $10. Just a basic cut for styling it was more.We had a lunch of mutton and some other type of meat. We did not know what it was. They used an Indian name so we tried it. The mutton was good and lean but everything else was greasy. It also came with fried bread that you put sugar on, a small piece of corn and potato. The hot tea was very interesting. Not sure what it was made with but it was good. It was a lot for $6.00. We were glad we shared one dinner and the experience. The next stop was the Indian Trading Post established 1864. They had many old pieces that I lusted over but...Came back to the RV and did some laundry. About an hour after we got back a sandstorm hit and then rain. Not enough rain to clean off the red sand but it did get cool outside.
