Another exciting day in the life of a road tripper. We left Durango this morning and headed to Mesa Verde. After driving half an hour to the visitors center, we decided to go to Spruce Pine House and the Balcony House. Spruce Pine was self guided, and really neat. You could even climb down into a kiva (underground living space) and look around. Then we drove around to Balcony House for the guided "adventurous" tour. We climbed down some stairs and learned about the Pueblos' food, water, and shelter situations. We climbed some ladders, learned some things, and then I got really dizzy, light headed, and fainted. Scary since I was standing next to a kiva/on a cliff... But after resting and drinking a lot of water, some from nice strangers, we were able to move on safely. Luckily Jill, our ranger leader was also super helpful.
Next we moved on to four corners, which was cool but not as exciting as we thought. Them we got to Moab tonight, ate, and are watching SVU. So tired and about to pass out (sleeping wise). Fun day! But stressful
Apparently I forgot to post yesterday; we went from Glenwood Springs to Durango, stopping at this really cute town named Ouray in the mountains. Driving was stressful and slow around mountain curves, but beautiful. in Durango I bought a turquoise ring and we ate at a wild west saloon themed restaurant.
