Day 21: Up on Acoma

Acoma Pueblo on the Mesa.
Mica Window.
The Sacred Mesa as Seen from my Tour Guide's Backyard.
Mission San Esteban Rey, Cemetery, and the Many Little Houses where US Treaties were Signed.
Lintel and Ladder.
My tour guide, Gary (his Indian name does not translate). Because I had come early, I was the only one on that tour. The next one had at least 40 people! Gary was informative and put up with all my questions patiently (although he was very circumspect when it came to traditional religious matters). He gave me his blessings at the end, told me to be good with my grandchildren who would be coming soon, and remember to always live from your heart. I walked back down to the visitor's center, alone and in awe.
