We stayed an extra day here in Acoma, NM and it was a beautiful day very little wind. We did wake up to our water hose frozen again, Ken believed it wouldn't get that cold, so out came my hair dryer.
We visited the Sky City Pueblo here is a photo of the sign that greets everyone. (My only photo of Sky City.)
The tour cost $12 and the photo permit is $10 so Ken just bought one for himself and I enjoyed listening to our tour guide and shopped. They bring out the tables of pottery to sell to the tourists, and the fry bread and apple pies. We also had lunch at their cafe which was very reasonable and very good.
It is called Sky City because it sits up on a mesa. It is considered the oldest continuously inhabited community in North America.
The Mission was built on top of their kiva, and the locals were used as slaves to build it. The San Esteban del Rey Mission began in 1629 and was finished in 1640.
We then drove El Malpais Natl Mon. to see the La Ventana Natural Arch. It is a beautiful drive and the sandstone formations are unbelieveable. So tomorrow we will head east again, just hope we have a day like today with light or no wind.
