Bandelier is an archeological site preserved in as natural condition as possible. Evidence of human activity dates back more than 10,000 years. The people who settled in Frijoles (free-HOH-lace)Canyon are known as the ancestral Pueblo people. Anyone who visits the Santa Fe area should visit this canyon to get a greater sense of history. These photos were taken in the area of the cliff dwellings. If one is agile (I AM!), ladders can be climbed to view some of the interior rooms.
I don't climb much, but I would there! I'd love to see it!
ReplyDeletecela me fait penser aux villages troglodytes que l'on trouve dans ma région natale :la Dordogne. c'est superbe
ReplyDeleteit makes me think the troglodytes villages that are found in my home region: the Dordogne. it is superb
How interesting!! They look a lot older than I expected.
ReplyDeleteI bet climbing down was a lot harder than climbing up-huh? :-)
Most interesting. Would love to see it myself
ReplyDeleteYou wouldn't catch me climbing that ladder.
ReplyDeleteHi Kate!
ReplyDeleteHow much is rent? I'd love to get a room =)
Glad to see you are running about and as healthy and energetic as ever =)
Very interesting place! It reminds me of Capadocia in Turkey...
ReplyDeleteGreetings

What an absolutely amazing place. And yes, rather like the villages that Olivier mentions. I've seen them in the Vaucluse too I think.
ReplyDeleteHow fascinating.I'd love to climb up into one of those.
As to your question on Menton DP - I'd do whatever you want to do, dear Kate. If you'd like a tattoo then absolutely go for it. Personally I love them - but I'm too much of a baby to deal with the pain.
Boy this must have been a real treat. I like to go to places like this and just sit back and relax and let my imagination go wild. It is amazing who visits you when in a state like this.
ReplyDeleteSo how were they? Hospitable?
ReplyDeletehi Kate, you look great, nice to see you =)
ReplyDeleteWhat away to have lived! Great photos :)
ReplyDeleteI thought you were there to recuperate :) Looks like you are healing just fine!
ReplyDeleteI would have to look. Troggladites come straight to mind. Very interesting place.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo! I love this place. Did you climb the ladder to the kiva?
ReplyDeleteYou look GREAT!
ReplyDeleteAmazing picture!
Now that's so funky and cool!
