Certainly don't want to wrap up my visit in Santa Fe
without suggesting that you add a few more places
to your list of "must see's"!
One in particular that puts human beings in their proper perspective ...
the cliff dwellings at Bandelier;
about an hour outside of Santa Fe,
right next door to Los Alamos.
There's the chance to walk/climb up to natural 'caves' in the hillside
(look for the line of people about halfway in the picture below)
where a community/tribe of approx 4,000 people lived centuries ago.
Community buildings were on the 'ground' level
You can see the outline of one of the buildings still on the ground.
Clearly, fear of heights was not in the DNA of this tribe!
What fun Art Boy and I had in speculating about the petroglyphs
over the 'doorways' of the caves.
A fascinating look into ages past -
even if we can't comprehend the meaning.
Yup, add that to your list as well!
