Bree and I had an amazing time with family Thursday-Monday! We went to Chaco Canyon and almost killed our first tour guide...luckily we had a fantastic second guide (Cousin Stephanie). We touched the Rio Grande, saw old Route 66 and old new Route 66. We saw old town Albuquerque, and went to the pueblo cultural center/museum where we saw a pueblo indian rain dance.
We had an absolutely amazing time learning and enjoying family!!!
The heat an elevation almost killed me but my Cousin took good care of me..hydrate and rest!
Chaco Canyon was by far the coolest part of the visit with family. Our whole family became Junior Rangers! We got badges and everything! My little cousin Garnet got a junior ranger vest to put all her future badge on and was the entertainment on our tour of the canyon. The thing that impressed Bree and I most about Pueblo Bonito was the structure itself. We can't build houses now that withstand tornadoes, hurricanes and flooding but people thousands of years ago could build multilevel structures with roofs and floors and windows and doors.?????
The structures themselves were constructed so soundly and with perfect angles and straight lines! Freaking Amazing!
Old Town Albequrque was also interesting! We visited an old church that had beautiful stained glass windows and statues and was still in its original building. We walked around the square and saw a lot of old buildings that were so beautiful.
The Pueblo Cultural Center was enlightening! The museum outlined the time line of Native American people and there struggles throughout American History. Garnet, Briana and I weaved on a loom and made clay pots. We were also able to see a pueblo rain dance.
Route 66 was fun!!! We broke a window, got chased by police...J/k
We took a picture in front of a neon sign store and the window was already broken we just leaned against it a little too hard and a few minutes later we saw police cars racing by! We ate at a 50's dinner and saw an enormous collection of pez dispensers!
Amazing time!!!
