Our daughter spent last week at Crow Canyon Archaeology Center in Cortez, Colorado, doing archaeology stuff. She had a great time. Margie and I drove down there on Friday, picked her up on Saturday, and spent the rest of that day, and Sunday, staying in and touring about Mesa Verde N. P., which is a lot bigger and more interesting than I'd though it was. We took many pictures, we saw many cliff dwellings[1] (and even more kivas), and we learned a lot, and we had a great together.<\/p>\n

And now we're back home. Which is also nice.<\/p>\n

More pictures, etc., to come.<\/p>\n
