Yesterday we went to Mesa Verde, a canyon which is home to more than 600 pueblo Indian settlements from 1100 AD. These townships were amazing, carved into cliffsides, accessable only by steep ladders and paths. We did the tour of the Cliff Palace which housed 120 people. Its truly spectacular, and a little scary (its a long way down!). The guided tour provided a great snapshot history for us. The surrounding hills had amazing colours (bright organges, reds, golden yellows) and we saw a coyote crossing the road... fantastic! Today we spent the day in Durango, an old west town fameous for silver mining. It was a great day, really neat shops and a cool energy. Later on we went to the Timble hot springs where we boiled ourselves like lobsters in the piping hot mineral pools before heading back to the hotel to crash! Tomorrow is the Grand Canyon xoxox B & T
